An original composition for solo fingerstyle guitar, using a partial capo. Performance details included in the music. Composed for my mother's passing in October 2020. When I began writing this piece back in October, it was about the turning of the leaves during our colorful Fall season here in Central Virginia. But, when my mother went into Hospice care, the piece quickly turned to her. The short 16th note hammer-ons, which were originally supposed to represent the falling and dancing of the leaves, now represented the leaping of my mother in heaven, free from her earthly body that confined her in her last years. The piece takes a somber turn toward the end, fading out with harmonics that never resolve, much the same way one feels losing a loved one.

The arrangement has been made with early-level guitarists in mind. The score is provided in notes with TAB below and just notes on a separate sheet in the single download. That way, teachers who wish to avoid TAB can do so easily.

Technically, the piece can be played in second position throughout. There is also the option of finishing a performance after the first G major section. Those wanting a more substantial piece can play the second page which modulates to A major.

The arrangement avoids unnecessary technical difficulties and therefore will make a great concert or repertoire piece for all learners. For a wide range of scores for solo guitar or guitar in ensemble, please visit www.danjonesguitarist.com.
