For SATB Chorus and Piano Accompaniment
Arranged by Doug Andrews
The melody for The Wonders of Dawn comes from a tune called Kedron, attributed to Elkanah Kelsay Dare (1782-1826). The Wonders of Dawn highlights the celebration of the joy of our Savior during Holy Week. The performance approach for this piece should be one of reverence and restraint. Both vocal parts and piano accompaniment should be performed legato throughtout. Singers should take care as not to sing with an overly heavy tone but not at the expense of vocal support. The dynamics in m. 29-30 should be carefully observed to insure the maximum expression of the final declaration of faith of the text.
