Autumn Singing
oh listen to autumn’s symphony, as leaves fall in tuneful arpeggios. The birch and poplar are keyboards playing to an alto wind, and I want to be a leaf held in the soft hands of it’s drifting melody. http://www.mediafire.com/file/vpyj588hr8grvcq/Gabriels_Oboe_-_Ennio_Morricone2.wav Gabriel’s Oboe by Ennio Morricone ( from the Mission) Piano and flute Autumn is taking hold …
