Morning Light by Mark Ford

Morning Light is a sweet delicate love song or lullaby. The title refers to opening your eyes in the morning and making your dreams become reality. I wrote this as an encore piece following the premier of Stubernic Fantasy in Opole, Poland. In reference to this, the music hints at the main motive of the Polish National Anthem beginning at measure 48. While the music should have motion as indicated, the player should be free to use rubato at cadencial points for expression and feeling.  It was premiered in Opole, Poland on October 5, 2012.  Morning Light is dedicated to Ewelina and Lucy Bernacka.
