Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1263171).What are your favourite things about Winter? Snow and frost? Feeling cosy in front of a fire? Having a romantic evening by candle light? Letting your imagination roam to the far north, home of reindeer, endless snowy forests and northern lights? This is what the music in ‘Capturing the Joy of Winter’ is about.
‘Capturing the Joy of Winter’ is a collaborative project with the aim of extending and complementing our first book, ‘Capturing the Spirit of Christmas’. It provides a collection of pieces celebrating the winter season. Unlike our first book, which contains arrangements of traditional carols, this book is based on the rich tradition of secular folk music and songs inspired by the season. We discovered highly evocative folk music imbued with the winter spirit from around the world and had a wonderful time choosing just the right melodies to arrange as solo piano pieces. Amongst them are a Nordic reindeer call; a Joik (a hauntingly beautiful form of song from the Sami people of Lapland); an evocative Scottish winter song and an ancient flute melody celebrating the hardy plum blossom.
