Autumn

"This piece was originally written for SATB choir in 2017 and transcribed for concert band in 2018. Below is the text from the choral version:
The sun hides
low in the sky
igniting the forest
with rays of light.
The air lies motionless
until a gentle wind whispers, disrupting this peace.
With this wind
dances a colourful melancholy, painting the seasons
with brushstrokes of time. Memories swirl
in this cool breeze,
though warmth lingers
in the arms of trees
holding on
until the last single leaf falls."
