Named for the opening motif, which quickly ascends like the rising sun, this march offers several teaching moments. Students get to work on independent parts playing in imitation or call and response, dynamic development, staccatos, accents, and minimal accidentals. Every section plays the melody at some point which makes this an excellent choice for demonstration or recruitment concerts. Perfect for concerts and contest, and even graduation as a processional.
