Rise and Shine!
Watch on YouTube:
This is an upbeat "pop-style" piece for 2 flutes and backing track (or piano accompaniment).

It can also be performed with just Flute 1 (flute solo) and accompaniment.

It's bright, optimistic and fun!

There are 2 backing tracks -

1. with full instrumentation - piano, bass, drums, strings....

and
2. piano only.

It's great piece for waking up in the morning!

Rise and shine - get yourself out of bed and get ready to tackle the day and whatever excitement it brings....

The Rooster wake-up call ..
Did you know?


Nearly everyone is familiar with rooster crowing, which is usually described as, “cock-a-doodle-doo!”

Yet, a rooster sound is more than just a wake up alarm. When roosters crow before sunrise, it’s to let the flock know that it’s time to scare off predators and forage for food.

The “head rooster” will always be the first one to crow during a rooster wake up call. If there are other roosters in the flock, they will join in after.

Roosters are often mistaken for being aggressive, but they like to avoid fights if possible.

Crowing back and forth usually prevents fights because it allows the chickens to know how far away unfamiliar birds are and it allows them time to get away from dominant birds.

“Do chickens crow?” is a common question. It’s obvious that roosters crow, but some people may be surprised to learn that hens can crow too!

Another wake-up call
There's a bugle-call heard in the Army called "Reveille" (pronounced "Re-Valley") which is historically played to signify the beginning of the day, a time when troops should wake up in the morning.

A bugle-call is a short tune, (a military signal) announcing scheduled and certain non-scheduled events on a military installation, battlefield, or ship.
