Shimmering Sunshine is a composition that depicts the sun whenever it is positioned at high noon, at its brightest point during the day. Throughout the piece, there are different “shimmers” of bright light that bounce around from instrument to instrument, depicting moments of sunshine both beautiful and at the same time, powerful.

This work was written in conjunction with the M.O.T.I.F triptych consortium, including Across the Golden Sky by Quinn Mason, and Midnight Skyline by Josh Trentadue.

Recorded on March 2nd, 2020 by San Jose State University Wind Ensemble and Dr. David Vickerman.
