What glorious fall weather! Autumn is the harvest season--crisp, invigorating days. It's also a season tinged with longing and regret for the passing of summer. Sweet, beautiful sadness mingles with joy.
And so, here (below) is track 3 of Meditations in Blue, "Autumn River." This is probably the simplest of the pieces, yet I think it's one of the most beautiful. My wife Lisa says it's one of her all-time favorites. When we were in Madison, Florida, I had the pleasure of performing this piece on a magnificent Steinway grand piano, accompanying three beautiful, young ballet dancers on point.
Now the first six tracks are available in the various entries of this blog, which together constitute Part I of Meditations in Blue. Here's the recommended order:
1. Second Spring
2. Cheshire Blues
3. Autumn River
4. Ian Grove Blues
5. Gethsemane
6. Midnight (Too Beautiful for Words)
Autumn River
