4 The Dawn's Awake!Laura Farnell. Just as The
Dawn's Awake!, a poem by early twentieth-century
poet Otto Bohanan, uses personification and vivid
imagery to describe the beauty of the sunrise, Laura
Farnell's music conveys the hope of looking forward
to a brighter future. Developing men's choirs will
realize their full potential when they sing this serious
work, which is a refreshing change of pace from
the abundance of lighter fare in the repertoire. "The
dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills, and music
sings and rings in the hills."
