The Blessing of Light (Summer) is the first movement from Symphony No. 1. In this "fanfare" edition, the burn of Summer is depicted in an energetic opening that is also inspired by the birth of the Sun. The material commences in gritty, tight harmonic clusters book-ended by octave passages, guiding an energetic set of boldly intensifying statements through each of these refracted "light" scales. These harmonic clusters gradually dissipate until the audience is finally released of the tension at measure 95 with a C major chord. Measure 102-end depicts Michael’s Leunig’s "glorious" light and its ability to consume the darkness that lies within.
