A chill wind in autumn
Pamela J. Marshall
About this work:
Eight songs from Chinese texts of the T'ang dynasty. These texts are about departure and loneliness. The music is spare, reflecting a beautiful but austere season. Each song is short and the composer recommends performing sets of three or more, although singing all eight is preferable.
