Autumn Forest September 00 Slightly revised in November 00 for organ, midi controller and sound module, hammer dulcimer and rainmaker (shell chimes?) Two performers My illness has prevented me from improving presentation for the website. I have entertained the idea of making this into a solo organ work, perhaps omitting certain sections. If a dulcimer is not available, another instrument could be used (e.g. a violin). The part in bars 0 to 78 is for a selection of percussion instruments. Use the percussion channel 0. Anthony Skilbeck Tune dulcimer and M.C. to organ M.C. fingering! Perf. dulcimer during Communion.
