SNOW AT CHRISTMAS
[5:15] 2/1*-2/1-2/1-2/1, 4-3-3-1, timp+3, hp, celesta, Children's Choir, strings
This original work for SA children's voices celebrates the beauty of snow at Christmas (tying it to the purity of a baby in a manger), the elation of snow activities (comparing it to the joy of the angels' message), and the fun of caroling (including the familiar tune Here We Come A-Caroling).
Commissioned by the Colorado Children's Chorale, it may be performed (as is the recording below) with two pianos (and optional percussion and strings), or with a full orchestra accompaniment.
