Composer’s Note

Dawn Rhapsody (for violin and piano) takes its inspiration from a simply stunning sunrise on the coast.

The composition was composed in Sydney, Australia and received its world premiere in North Carolina, USA on 13 September 2014, performed by Karen Galvin (violin) and Akiko Yamazaki (piano) at “Violins and Videos: Symposium on new music”, presented by Virtual Artists.

The inspiration behind the work was a simply stunning sunrise on the coast.

The music commences with an effervescent violin melody set against flourishes of crystalline piano arpeggios. Ever striving to ascend, the melody explores rich and varied instrumental registers and timbres before reaching its zenith in the final moments of the work.

Matthew Orlovich,
Composer.
