"Abendstern, composed by Lauren Bernofsky, evokes an image of a sunset over the tree-covered hills of the Bavarian countryside with the Abendstern, or ""evening star,"" shining brightly over the scene.  A hauntingly beautiful theme in falling thirds evokes the treetops as they become darker and murkier. This piece is a wonderful addition to any concert program and can be used as a touching tribute at a memorial service."
