I Like Fall
I Like Fall was composed in 1980 for the Thanksgiving presentation of the grade three classes at Sacramento Country Day School. The teachers suggested the text, a poem by Aileen Fisher.
Below is a 1980 recording of the song performed at the Thanksgiving presentation by the eight year old students, originally recorded on a simple cassette tape recorder, and accompanied by my piano "playing." The second MP3 is an extended arrangement I made in 2014, with the children's voices from the original cassette tape added in places. I completed the recording today, this first day of Fall, and decided to celebrate the day with this offering. Those kids would now be around 42 years of age! The arrangement is included on the album REFLECTIONS.
