Autumn by MrBouzouki published on 2020-11-12T00:32:50Z "A musical vision of Autumn, a time of year when change is in the air. Mellow days and vivid colours give way to darker nights, rain storms and misty mornings. As the season moves on, a hint of Winter arrives with colder nights and frosty mornings" Description Autumn, finds me trying to express, in music, my feelings about this season. Below is a attempt at doing this in words too. This is the second of hopefully four orchestral pieces that describe the four temperate seasons of the year. If you want to hear other pieces from the series "The Wheel Turns" after listening to this piece, the links are here :- soundcloud.com/mrbouzouki/sets/the-wheel-turns The Wheel Turns Orchestral Suite - YouTube playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQkE1sMc-t1sixu4RmJmjyFr0HF6dnUF2 --------------------------------------------------------------- Autumn The majesty of Summer has now faded. Leaves, once so green, now a myriad of fading colours as Mother Nature withdraws her life-giving hand. The weather is changing too. Strong winds and blustery days jostle with times of calm reflection, as you take a little wander through the woods. The squirrels are busy, as are the birds, as some prepare for darker times whilst others set forth on their migrant flights. For Autumn knows, whilst man often forgets, that change is in the air. --------------------------------------------------------------- Instrumentation Con Sordino and 8ve strings (Albion One - Spitfire) Viola Ensemble (Chris Hein Strings) Violin Spiccato (Albion One - Spitfire) Low Strings Cello & Bass(Chris Hein Strings) Pizzicato Strings (Albion One - Spitfire) Oboes (Chris Hein Winds) English Horn (Chris Hein Winds) Barock Bassoon (Chris Hein Winds) Flute (Chris Hein Winds) French Horn (Chris Hein Brass) Trombone (Chris Hein Brass) Low Brass Dirt Growl (Chris Hein Brass) Timpani Rolls and Strikes (Kontakt Factory Library) Bass Drum (Kontakt Factory Library) St Peter's Choir (Halion -Steinberg) Shevannai vocal library (Eduardo Tarilonte) Bell Tree (Flying Hands Percussion) Variety was the key to this piece with it almost compartmentalised into different sections to reflect this changeable season. The initial section what I call 'the walk in the woods section' depicts the fading grandeur of Autumn before moving into a time of relative calm. This is followed suddenly by a storm section featuring a vocal line as the wind, pizzicato strings as the rain and timpani and brass as the thunder. The final section is almost melancholic, reflecting the withdrawal of nature before dying down to a misty stillness with a hint of Winter just around the corner. In fact the end section features a motif from my piece Winter so it acts as a bridge to that piece. Genre Classical Comment by BJÖRN CLOPPENBURG A really impressive composition. I find it to be a beautiful autumn suite. Thanks 2022-07-30T09:14:29Z Comment by Liz Dicker a beautiful work Pete... 2022-07-22T20:21:50Z Comment by Pianissimo Another wonderful piece Pete.
