Autumn is a transcription for wind ensemble of Kevin A. Memley’s choral work. It is set to the poem of the same name by 19th century poet Thomas Hood. This poem, put very simply, depicts Autumn as a person- one that is solitary, decaying, and somber, but powerful and beautiful in these qualities. The poem describes the ending of Summer, and the gloom of the onset of Autumn. Memley’s piece is gorgeous, and this transcription is one created purely for the pleasure of sharing Memley’s work with the world of wind ensemble music.
