Sunrise Fantasy
Lawes, William
6 SSATTB. This fantasy, from Lawes' 8th Consort Set for viols, seems to have acquired the title 'Sunrise', although I can't find any evidence that that name was given to it by Lawes himself. The reason for the title is immediately obvious - the opening of this beautiful piece features slowly ascending lines which certainly seem to represent the sun rising.
