For our final coffee break about sunrises, we revisit Hadyn's The Creation and the Big Bang, just because it's so amazing. We listen to how the human voice recreates the sunrise in a contemporary work, Dazzle of Day. Then we step back in time to Charles Ives' Decoration Day to hear the melancholy, layered sound of memory, then listen to the mystery of the first Easter morning. For our last sunrise, we hear Louis Spohr's invocation of the dawn after the Apocalypse.
