Words and music by Andy Beck
Here is a stunning choral work inspired by the beauty of an autumn day. A lyric melody, lush harmonies, and a poetic text are combined with a sensitive piano accompaniment to paint a colorful musical picture. You can almost see the leaves take flight when your choir sings the melodic refrain, and you will get a true sense of foliage falling layer upon layer as the second verse begins to echo and overlap. An expressive choral piece for concert and contest.
