Composed by Daniel Burwasser. 20th Century. 54 pages. Head and Stem Music #6013219. Published by Head and Stem Music (A0.1021136).Autumn was originally a poem written in Russian by the composer's grandmother (Genya Burwasser) shortly before her death in 1967. An anonymous translation of the poem was discovered in the early summer of 1986 by the composer's father, who requested that the poem be set to music. The original version of the work was completed in early October of 1986 and was premiered in NYC in the Spring of 1987. The composition, which is in one continuous movement, evokes the eternal transition of nature during the autumn season, and thus the transition between life and death. The poem symbolizes the writer's own affliction while facing the bleakness of her final days. In the end, she accepted her fate, and the work, in its final bars, suggests a sense of that calm acceptance.
This is a newly revised 2020 edition of Autumn. Great effort was made to stay faithful to the original 1986 score.
