As summer
ends, the chill of the
autumn air awakens
feelings within us. The
shadows are longer in
late afternoon and
darkness comes early. The
trees are losing their
leaves and their gnarled
trunks and branches take
on sinister profiles
against the looming
twilight. We shudder at
the cold wind. Our pulse
quickens and we suddenly
want to return to the
safety and warmth of
home. Night falls and we
are once again at peace.
We say a final farewell
to the carefree days of
summer and accept the
relentless march of the
seasons. Winter will soon
be here.
Shadows
of the Equinox is a
dramatic and lyrical
piece inspired by a late
Midwest autumn. It was
commissioned by the 2010
Festival of Bands,
Vincennes, Indiana,
including the bands from
Barr-Reeve, Loogootee,
Mitchell, North Daviess,
North Knox, and South
Knox High Schools. This
title is available in
MakeMusic Cloud.
