Misc. Notes This arrangement is a prolongation of The Leaf Burners, the melodic line is this time taken up by the viola, with a few necessary adjustments, and is slightly extended. The composer has seen fit to adapt the original poem in French, under the title Complainte d'automne, in an abbreviated form.

Misc. Notes The song The Leaf Burners (No.10) is here slightly accommodated to be played on the viola, the composer having used that instrument to replace the vocal line when working at its reconstruction. The "scutch fire" in question is an allusion to Stanley Baldwin's heartfelt description of the English countryside in the olden days, where he remembers "(...) the smell of wood smoke coming up in an autumn evening, or the smell of the scutch fires (...)", this title transfer suggested itself on account of my reading S.B.'s evocation when a high school student, long before its vocal transpositiion.

This segment is intended to serve as a 'reclaiming center' for those songs (as described in the composer's works list) that were abandoned at one point (before the advent of the personal computer) and never reconsidered. The composer intends to review those 'stumps' and eventually publish those that he believes are worthwhile. They will be numbered accordingly.
