Autumn Way, for solo cello, was commissioned by String Poet, an online journal with a Studio Series hosted by the Long Island Violin Shop in Huntington, NY. String Poet ran a poetry competition and paired each winner with a composer commissioned to create music inspired by their poetry. I composed my haiku-like solo cello piece in response to Richard Meyer’s poignant and beautifully wrought poem, The Autumn Way. Suzanne Mueller premiered it on 9/23/2014 on the Studio Series.
