Grand Mesa Music
Memory Of Autumn
This Work For Advanced String Orchestra Begins With A Haunting Refrain In The Violas And Cellos Which Becomes The Accompaniment For A Plaintive Melody Featuring The 1st Violins. Following This Opening Melody, The Work Takes A Harmonic Turn To An Unrelated Major Key Where The Mood Changes From One Of Lost Opportunities To A Sense Of Warm Nostalgia. A Brief Canonic Interlude Leads Us Back To The Opening Refrain And Melody, Now To Conclude The Musical Journey In A Satisfying Major Key. The Varied Harmonies And Many Poignant Dissonances Make This A Rewarding Musical Experience For Mature Players.
