Impermanence

Gustavo Santaolalla’s most underrated score is from the 2013 film August: Osage County – a 2013 American comedy-drama film that tells the story of a dysfunctional family that reunites into the familial house when their patriarch suddenly disappears.

While the movie had mixed reviews, Gustavo Santaolalla’s score is one of his best. It’s the closest we have to his iconic Brokeback Mountain score. Impermanence is a beautiful passage, and very easy to play. It reminds me of Gustavo’s work on Things We Lost in the Fire.

For Impermanence, you’ll play through the entire passage twice. You’ll them play the ‘End’ section  of the piece. I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I do.
