Rainbow Rise

Composer

David Bobrowitz

A rainstorm has just passed, and as the sun reappears a rainbow begins to take shape, rising out of nowhere to paint the sky with vivid colors. The composer has captured the splendor of one of nature’s most brilliant moments in this composition, setting the stage quietly to introduce a rising melody that builds and builds as Rainbow Rise progresses. The ending arrives in high drama, as a rainbow reaches the height of its glorious intensity.
