Barnes, J :: Autumn Soliloquy
Barnes, J
A delightful tone poem originally composed as a solo with orchestra accompaniment, and dedicated to Susan Hicks Brashier. It is quite different from most of Barnes' music, which is powerful and energetic.
The piece begins with a melancholy flute solo and a one-line melody on a horn in the background. The clarinet and bassoon then have a turn with the melody. A flute cadenza catches one's notice as the swirling chill of Autumn. the colors of sounds indicate the changing colors of leaves. There is a last burst of brilliance and excitement before the flute once again sings in a plaintive cadenza. Recalling the initial theme before retreating, the accompaniment introduce a pyramid of sound to bring the piece to a quiet ending.
Here, Barnes presents the piece in its version for flute (or oboe or clarinet) and wind band. Also purchasable in versions for flute and piano, or on hire from the publisher in a version for flute and orchestra.
