English. Words by Rachel
Field.
The last
autumn leaves freely
descend during the short
piano introduction,
symbolic of the change
from fall to winter.
Two-part groups will
luxuriate in the words of
Rachel Field as presented
in this sumptuous
setting. As simple as a
partner song, with two
independent melodies that
assemble into a delicate
choral duet; as
sophisticated as an art
song, with haunting
motives and passing
dissonances. Crystalline
chords, embedded into the
mostly arpeggiated
accompaniment, dazzle the
ear and offer subtle
support to treble voices
of any age. Designed with
the clarity and elegance
that will make any
ensemble sound
impressive.
