Description

Strings and woodwinds sheet music with an autumnal feel. Can you see and feel more than four seasons where you live? Can you hear the sound of your autumn in this song?

Reminiscent of 17th Century writing, this piece in D major combines a more difficult Part A (melody) for violin and/or woodwinds with simpler lower Parts B & C for upper strings and/or woodwinds, and an optional Part D for beginner cello. Part E for cello, keyboard and/or bass clarinet is an enjoyable bass line for a more confident junior player.
