September of My Years

by Frank Sinatra

September of My Years cover art

Arranged by Gordon Jenkins to commemorate Sinatra's upcoming fiftieth birthday, this conceptual album focuses exclusively on aging, reflection, and mortality. The lush, sweeping string orchestrations provide a somber, melancholic backdrop for his restrained, deeply emotive vocal phrasing.
