Thank you so much for this - I also was introduced to "Sunrise" via Soundscapes on AT&T U-Verse. I've been in a really rough spot for the last year and a half or so, and "Sunrise" has helped me immensely with working through it. It's so cathartic for me. So I bought the CD and uploaded it to my iPhone and play it almost constantly. So I boogey on over here to the YouTubes in search of a video to link to, and when I saw this...even more catharsis. You're a wonderful person, and I thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful song.. I stopped playing my violin and piano for about 2 years because of the amount of studying I had to do and I recently just started again after hearing this song again thank you so much I realized how important music was again
A beautiful song, written and performed by a beautiful person. What a wonderful gift, for this child and family. When I hear music that moves me, as this does...I tend to think the artist is God, or at least has a heart like Him. You have given me hope that there are still many who care, as I do...about the Whole. Thank-you...
Speechless.....OK..maybe not as I have to say that I am blown away by your music and that is coming from someone whose favorite bands tend be heavy metal like Iron Maiden and Opeth. I thank Pandora for introducing me to your music through my "Porcupine Tree" channel I created. And this version is awesome!
This is just so beautiful...I've just bought Flying High sheet music and am playing it all the time. Thank you for your great work! It brought me back to playing the piano again! Thank you!
This is absolutely beautiful, as is all of the rest of your music! I am so glad that Pandora decided to play this song for me. :) You are so talented.
I can only hope that one day I can play the piano as well as you do. I'm trying to teach myself, and since I can't read sheet music, I'm roughing it, haha!
Every time I play this song, it is a bit different. There is no sheet music for this version. I am planning on releasing more sheet music from Solace so please check my website and thanks!
I also bought the sheet music for this peice. I must say though, I like this version a lot more simply because of all the improvisation. I mostly improvise myself, and I find that even in listening to others play, there is much more feeling and emotion put into the music when it;s improvised. Great work. I can tell you love music.
I recently purchased your sheet music for this song, and i would like to know if this is the same version as the song on the sheet music? Thanks in Advance :D Great job by the way.
It is similar but a little different. Every time I play it, it's a little different as I tend to be pretty improvisational. The sheet music is an exact transcription from the CD version. Thanks!
Whoever is playing this version of 'Sunrise' I want to say that they are really great at the piano and I think that if you are out there and reading this comment that if you have dreams to become a famous composer one day I think that you would do great.Live your dream in this wonderful dreamworld of ours despite all the problems trust in God our one and only Savior and King and He will light your way to heaven.Have nice life! Yours Truly, The Midnight Angel
aaaaaaaaaaahhhh! i LOVE this song! it's AMAZING! as well as the motive! :D 10000000/10!!! i bought the music off your site and have learned two pages so far! aha! great job!
Johnathan is my first and only nephew, and this song is absolutely beautiful. Jonathan has amazed us all. Thanks for the song dedication Doug. We love you Jonathan, Auntie Tami, and Uncle Ryan.
Thank you so much for doing this for Jonathan! Your music is truly moving and inspiring! I'm glad that you can experience, how much it means to the world. Alejandra Mijares
OMG-I am bawling my eyes out! THANK YOU DOUG! Tamara is one of my best friends and I know how much this means to her. The music is absolutely beautiful!
This is the most beautiful piano music I have ever heard in my whole life!
Doug Hammer is so incredibly talented. His compassion toward Jonathan and graciousness that he has shown to our family will never be forgotten. If you want to be inspired by a true artist then listen to this amazing music.
I also heard this on U-verse. I thoroughly enjoy what you communicate in your music. It does heal. Thanks, and keep the dreams alive.
