Like a cozy sweater on a cold day, this original wintertime poem juxtaposes warmth with chills. Imagine the opening descending motive as the first falling flake and the eventual musical layers as accumulating snow. Each voice part sings in the sweet spot of their tessitura to garner rich choral tone. A harmonically vivid bridge creates contrast and offers a flurry of beauty in the piano, as singers realize the beautiful snowflakes are fleeting, all too soon they fade away. Delicate yet deep, simple yet stunning. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Imagine the opening solo in darkness. Light increases as the choir begins, growing to full brilliance when three luminous lines intertwine. A lux aeterna refrain is sung in resonant harmony, with touches of shimmering dissonance on cadences. One final tone cluster at the end ignites shivers. This inspiring text provides a personal credo to live with light. Download the optional violin obbligato for free.

After a year with limited music making, there could be nothing better. Imagine throwing open the shutters to sing with your neighbors as this beautiful piece unfolds. It's consistently lyrical and legato, with peaks and valleys built into the dynamics to heighten emotions and capture joy. We love this expressive piano part, especially the delicate music box-inspired introduction. Don't miss the dramatic modulation before the pinnacle refrain crescendos to a big finish.
