Comes Autumn Time

Comes Autumn Time is a concert overture by Leo Sowerby. Composed in 1916, it was introduced by the New York Symphony Society, under the baton of Walter Damrosch, in 1918. The piece is one of Sowerby's most popular, and was inspired by a poem by Bliss Carman entitled "Autumn".

The overture opens with an exuberant and lively theme played on the bass clarinet, horns, and low strings. A transition in the woodwinds brins on the second main subject, iterated by flutes and celesta against a harp and clarinet background. The first subject is then developed, the second returning only in the recapitulation, followed by the first. The piece finishes with a brilliant and lively coda, developed from the second theme.^{[citation needed]}
