"Autumn Leaves" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French, and later by Johnny Mercer in English. An instrumental version by pianist Roger Williams was a #1 best-seller in the USA Billboard charts of 1955.

Background

Kosma was a native of Hungary who was introduced to Prévert in Paris. They collaborated on the song "{{ill|Les Feuilles mortes|fr|Les Feuilles mortes|vertical-align=sup}}" ("The Dead Leaves") for the 1946 film Les portes de la nuit where it was sung by Irène Joachim.[1] Kosma was influenced by a piece of ballet music, "Rendez-vous" written for Roland Petit, which was itself borrowed partially from "Poème d'octobre" by Jules Massenet.[2] Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics and gave it the title "Autumn Leaves".[1]

Structure and chord progression

{{Listen|filename=Autumleaves evacassidy.ogg|title="Autumn Leaves"
|description=Sample of a recording of "Autumn Leaves" by Eva Cassidy from the album Live at Blues Alley (1996)|format=Ogg}}

The song is in AABC form.[3] "Autumn Leaves" offers a popular way for beginning jazz musicians to become acquainted with jazz harmony as the chord progression consists almost solely of ii–V–I and ii–V sequences which are typical of jazz. It was originally, and is most commonly, performed in the key of G minor, but is also played in E minor and other keys. Eva Cassidy's version (clip on the right) is played in B-flat minor.

Its iv7–VII7–IIImaj7–VImaj7–iiø7–V7–i chord progression is an example of the circle-of-fifths progression.[4]
