Autumn's Passing (String Orchestra Gr. 3)

Autumn's Passing is the perfect choice if you are looking for a lyrical, expressive piece at this level! Delicate and sensitive from the start, the music ebbs and flows as a tapestry is woven with the melody and counterlines interchanging between voices. Carefully balanced, with very playable phrasing through detailed bowings to sound warm and complete. The included Piano part is optional but encouraged.

Program Notes
Delicate and sensitive from the start, the music ebbs and flows as a tapestry is woven with the melody and counterlines interchanging between voices. Constantly introspective, the restless lyrical lines paint a vivid musical picture of the last leaves falling from the trees. The lilting lamenting conclusion forebodes the start of the cold winter months ahead.
