Autumn is a glorious time of year! The air cools, streets smell of fireplaces, and the trees burst into a one final display of loud amber and gold before they disappear into the silence of winter. Several variations of the main theme explore varying keys, time signatures and styles. The piece builds to a joyous finale, when all the variations overlap in a cacophony of jubilant counterpoint. Upbeat and festive! (3:45)
Voyage of the Dragon Armada (The Maritime Expeditions of Zheng He) by Loest (FJH)
Waltz (La plus que Lente) Debussy, Arr. by Matthew Moreno, Grade 4
Get ready to have some fun with this energetic western-style romp! Showcasing a melody that weaves its way through every section, the piece also makes use of open string drones and syncopated rhythms, bringing the country-style flair to life. Outstanding and infectious! (2:30)
