Ruth Morris Gray has a gift for presenting worthy texts in satisfying choral settings, and this piece is no exception. With words from the poem "November" by William Cullen Bryant, former editor of the New York Evening Post, this expressive concert work evokes the stark beauty of coming winter. An optional C-instrument part adds a shimmering layer to the luscious choral/piano texture. This piano accompaniment is also found on PianoTrax CD 47188 and can be used with 47594, and 47595.
