Dawn to Dust

"Dawn to Dust" by the Utah Symphony Orchestra is a captivating orchestral journey released on April 8, 2016, under Reference Recordings. This 69-minute album is a masterful blend of mythological inspiration and natural imagery, divided into two distinct suites.

The first suite, "Eos (Goddess of the Dawn)," is a six-movement exploration of the Greek goddess Eos, each track evoking a different aspect of dawn and day. From the gentle "Dawn" to the radiant "Sunlight," this suite is a symphonic celebration of the break of day, showcasing the orchestra's ability to paint vivid aural landscapes.

The second suite, "Control," presents five movements, each inspired by different natural landforms and elements. The Utah Symphony Orchestra masterfully interprets these themes, from the towering "Mountain" to the intricate "Beehive," culminating in the enigmatic "Switch."

With its rich orchestration and evocative themes, "Dawn to Dust" is a testament to the Utah Symphony Orchestra's virtuosity and their ability to transform myth and nature into a compelling musical experience.
