Winter Songs comprises three contrasting songs for upper voices and piano accompaniment. Each song presents a view of winter that implores us to value kindness and compassion above all else. Hibernation sets the wintery scene, leading into the musical theater-style song Reality Check, a touching tale from the perspective of a homeless person. The jazzy and uplifting Presence completes the set with its swinging style featuring a fun scat section; the song's chorus is perfect for adding choreography. Winter Songs would be ideal for school and youth choir performances at any time of the year but particularly during the winter months, including at Christmas.

Lajos Bárdos (1899-1986), composer, musicologist, teacher, and choral conductor, laid down, together with Kodály, the foundations of 20th-century Hungarian choral music. Through his work as a conductor, he raised the standards of Hungarian choral singing to an international level in a few decades. His compositions were directed towards cultivating Hungarian choral life: they draw on Renaissance polyphony and Hungarian folk music, following Kodály and Bartók. His works, which are models of choral writing, deal sensitively with Hungarian prosody and radiate an inner harmony and vigor. A selection of his most popular choral works has been published with English texts by Gail Needleman in five volumes. Contents: 1. Márkus Miklós dr.: Campfire Song 2. Kerényi György dr.: Golden-Winged Angel 3. Dienes Valéria Dr.: Christmas Lullaby 4. Czikéné Lovich Ilona: Holy Christmas Night 5. Hey, Daddy Longlegs.
