Description:
Madrigals for the Seasons was composed especially for Cappella SF, Ragnar Bohlin, conductor. John Clare's poem Autumn conjures up vivid images of this season: the fading of summer flowers, the colors of the leaves, the browning of the fields. Clare personifies the leaves, who talk to us and offer us a lesson about death: The same sad fate approaches you. The musical setting is an expressive Larghetto in the minor mode. The piece ends with a surprising harmonic twist that I hope expresses both the opening of oneself to the acceptance of death, and to the peace that it offers.
