Daybreak [level: Easy]
James Owen Bowyer: Bio and other works

RELEASED: March 2023

voicing: TTBB | catalog number: SBMP 1702 | price: $2.20
accompaniment: piano

As with daybreak, this piece innocently begins with one melody in unison; then, as in a round, a second melody appears, then a third, and finally blossoms into four parts. A robust piano accompaniment helps to establish the mood and artistry of this work which is easily taught and which produces a dramatic end result in performance.

performance by: Musikanten at Bemidji State University - Dr. Dwight Jilek, conductor [© all rights reserved]

The World is dark: No Sun! No Moon!
I see nothing!
The soundless Wind, he sings not Mid-Winter’s tune.
I hear nothing!
When comes the Sun to warm the woodland creatures few?
I feel nothing!

Snow-sapped ground in Winter’s keep.
Even the Stars, they seem to sleep.
Silvery Moon, she dreams.
Soundless Wind, he sleeps it seems.

Iluminate the World!
Fill it with Light!
Bring on the Dawn!
Come Daybreak!

—James Bowyer
Inspired by the Poetry of Gaayathri Mathuria, Sampurna Chakravorty, and Himneesh Medisetti
