Sunrise
for shakuhachi quintet
Scored for shakuhachi quintet, Sunrise was composed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Shakuhachi Camp of Rockies. The title comes from the location where the camp is held, Sunrise Ranch in Loveland, Colorado as well as from Claude Monet’s famous painting, Impression, Sunrise (1872). Every morning we are offered the precious gift of a new day with the rise of the sun. A fusion between compositional elements found in traditional shakuhachi honkyoku and French Impressionist music, in this work I seek to evoke the qualities of youthfulness, vitality, and rebirth.
Sunrise will be premiered by David Wheeler, Christopher Blasdel, Riley Lee, Yōdo Kurahashi, and Kaoru Kakizakai at The Academy in Boulder, Colorado on June 20th , 2018.

WORLD PREMIERE A special highlight of this concert is the world premiere of a shakuhachi quintet commissioned especially for this event. Sunrise, by Marty Regan, is inspired by Claude Monet's Impressionist painting of the same title, and aims at a blend of the Impressionist styles of Debussy, Ravel and others with the Zen-informed music of the shakuhachi.
