Autumn Moon

Based on the traditional English tune “Kingsfold”, this arrangement is adapted to a composite meter, making this piece an upbeat arrangement with accessible three-part harmonies. The text in this arrangement depicts a still night in Autumn with simple imagery describing what the author experiences through multiple senses. When preparing this piece, the first half should have a strong sense of motion with predictable four measure phrases, strong unison singing, and proper blend at the brief divisi. Though the second half repeats the same text, it is an opportunity for each part to carry the melody and continue the same consistent blend to the end of the piece.
