About the Score

This setting of William Blake's ode to Autumn comes out of a lifelong love and affinity for the season.

Many think of the Autumn as a time of sadness and death, but in some ways the world is never so alive as it is during the Fall. It's the culmination of the year: a time of joy, plenty, maturity, harvest, and a celebration of life before its renewal in the following year. The fact that the season is so fleeting and leads so quickly into bleaker times lends it an incredible mixture of emotions: the leaves are beautiful but are falling; the air is fresh because it's growing colder. All of this and more makes Autumn into Autumn, and there's nothing else quite like it.

This is some of what this setting tries to capture.
