Dawn Contemplation

I have seen many sunrises across many parts of the world, and
each time I do, I give gratitude for being able to receive such a beautiful
sight again. Dawn Contemplation is
as close to the soundtrack you can get for those halcyon moments of divine
inspiration of mine.
Its beginning is soft and delicate, but as the sun gains
power and intensity a wonderful sense of fulfilment can be found from the multi
instrumental nature of the composition. In my view this has to be one of the
best performances on piano I have heard from Swerdlow, so when you add in the
crescendos, the strings and orchestration, you have a sure fire winner of a
single.
A special mention should also go to Doug Hammer, who orchestrated
the album for Lisa.
A fine example of a mixture of classical and movie soundtrack
elements can be found here, on what has to be Lisa Swerdlow’s best work thus far.
