Autumn Counterpoint - (2019)
Raking oak leaves and pine straw in the moments just after dawn on James Island, birdcalls sang. At measure 8 is one transcribed, four repetitions of three notes, and my first thought pf a simple response was the simple falling scale which followed. Another bird sang single notes, still melodious in the cool of morning. Musical thoughts abound in all things, even with rake in hand instead of pen.
