A Sunset in August

Initially, I was going to write a song cycle called "Summer"- a piece for June, a piece for July and a piece for August. I still might do that eventually, but since I'm apparently writing them out of order (being that the first one I finished was August), who knows when I'll actually get to June and July.Anyway, this is a piece for strings and a solo clarinet. The theme is wistful, but light- pretty accurate for conveying the end of summer, I hope. For me, whenever summer ends, I feel sad that I have to go back to school (and this year, college!), but there's always a sense of triumph in that I lived it up to the best of my ability- parties, friends, beach, fun, etc. I tried my best to represent that pairing of triumph and sentimentality in the music.

Needs more variation imo. Having the same rhythm for so long sounds overly mechanical. I like the idea of the piece though, and some of the harmony, hope you finish the set!
