Comes Autumn Time is a concert overture by Leo Sowerby. Originally composed for organ in October 1916 it was orchestrated the following year and was introduced by the New York Symphony Society under the baton of Walter Damrosch in 1918. (The organ version was both commissioned and first performed by Eric DeLamarter at Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago on October 20 1916.) The piece is one of Sowerby’s most popular and was inspired by a poem by Bliss Carman entitled Autumn.
