    The Russian word “Zarya” came to sudden international prominence in late 1998 when the first module of the international space station was launched. Russian for “sunrise”, the word conjures up ideas of the dawning of a new era, and by association, a new millenium.

    The fanfare is basically one long crescendo. Beginning softly, as if the pre-dawn twilight, the music progressively gathers energy by gaining in volume and brightness. The point of sunrise is marked by significant harmonic shift. The music can by heard as a positive affirmation of the progress of the past century and of humanity’s relentless quest for knowledge.

    Zarya was commissioned by the Auckland Philharmonia as one of their eleven ‘Century Fanfares’ commissioned in 1999 to mark the end of the century.
