Fall Music
Timothy Sandefur on Oct 27th 2005
So far I’ve only received a couple suggestions for fall music in addition to the ones I posted. Brayton suggested James Taylor, who certainly does qualify. (There’s a line in “The Walking Man” about “the frost is on the pumpkin” which is really marvelous poetry; a perfectly economic illustration of fall). And reader Mandy recommended “Richard Strauss’ ‘September’ from Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs), for voice and orchestra. Best recording: Renee Flemming or Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Text and translation.” I’ve never heard it. I like Strauss, although I’ve never been a fan of German through-composed songs (despite Mandy’s best efforts, I must say!)
What other songs evoke autumn for people out there?
