‘Chasing Sunlight’ from Cait Nishmura Music

Chasing Sunlight was inspired by the experience of driving west into the setting sun, and offers a steady eighth note motif throughout the piece that represents this sense of urgency, while the soaring, lyrical themes depict the warmth and radiance of the sun low in the sky.

Chasing Sunlight is the winner of the 2017 Canadian Band Association Composition Competition, and has been included on the MusicFest Canada concert band syllabus B300 category and the University of Toronto Wind Conducting Symposium 2018 repertoire list.
