About "Fawn and Gruff Fall from the Sky / Mourning Fawn" by Joel McNeely
A two-part miniature of falling and grief, 'Fawn and Gruff Fall from the Sky / Mourning Fawn' pairs dizzying, tumbling strings with a hollowed-out elegy. McNeely captures the sickening drop and its aftermath—the quiet, shattered stillness after impact. It's a heartbreak rendered in orchestral watercolors, delicate and devastating.
