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 the reduction for flute and piano. Also purchasable in versions for flute and wind band, or on hire from the publisher in a version for flute and orchestra.
Duration: 7:00. Score and part.
