Program Notes:
When I first met with Autumn and her family to get a sense of what she wanted out of this piece,
I got an immediate response of “happiness”. I discovered that Autumn and I shared a love for
Celtic-inspired music along with the whimsical sound of Disney songs, both old and new. The
introduction takes after those joyful Celtic dances while the middle implements a jubilant march
inspired by “A Spoonful of Sugar” from Mary Poppins. Fall, or Autumn, also happens to be one
of my favorite seasons with its apple-spiced flavors, colorful leaves that seem to play in the
wind, and delightful memories of leaf piles exploding with a jump or a kick. Whatever your
simplest, most playful joy, this piece is all about harnessing it.
