This is a “post-minimalistic” work, gathering large influences from John Adams, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass.  It is a stream-of-consciousness work, telling the tale of the beautiful sunrise at the 10^th Annual Cascade Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run, where I was blown away by the beauty of Washington’s Central Cascade Mountains while experiencing the pain of continuously running 70+ miles at the time of the 2^nd sunrise of the race.
