Holiday Secular & Winter
Snowfall—David L. Brunner. Ryokan's
short poem on the beauty of snowfall
was translated into English by Kazuaki
Tanahashi and serves as the text for
this subdued a cappella work for more
advanced divisi choirs. Gentle dissonance
and a slowly moving harmonic texture
express the serene quiet of winter.

Solstice Moon—Cheryl B. Engelhardt.
With rhythmic ostinatos and colorful
harmonies, this original work contrasts the
fleeting warmth of the solstice sun with the
enduring calm of the solstice moon. It is a
reflection on embracing rest, reflection,
and the gentle truths that guide us through
darkness. Program this alone or as part
of the three-song The Solstice Suite with
Solstice Song and Solstice Rest.

Somehow Not Only for Christmas—Bob
Chilcott. John Greenleaf Whittier's text
reminds us that the joy that we spread to
others during the holiday season comes
back to us the whole year through in this
heartwarming original work. The gentle
lyrical melodies and a flowing piano part
create a feel-good moment - a wonderful
way to close a Christmas concert.

Something Told the Wild Geese—
Douglas E. Wagner. Highly appropriate
for fall and winter concerts, this elegantly
simple setting of the well-known Rachel
Field poem allows space for developing
choirs to learn the notes easily and
have plenty of time for exploring musical
sensitivity. Nicely constructed melodic
lines create a plaintive and haunting
feel which is nicely enhanced by the
beautiful piano accompaniment and
optional cello obbligato.

Song for a Winter's Day—Cristi Cary
Miller. Fun and accessible, this bright
and cheerful song captures the magical
feeling of a snowy day. A pulsing piano
accompaniment along with effortless
syncopation enhances the energy and
enthusiasm while the gentle melodies
dance and lilt like falling snow. It ends
with a playful wish: "And by the way, they
canceled school today."

Song for a Winter's Night—Gordon
Lightfoot/arr. Michael Hanawalt & Justine
Sasanfar. Gordon Lightfoot's ballad
expresses the longing to be with loved
ones on a cold, snowy night. This artistic
concert setting is a beautiful feature for
your collaborative pianist - its elegant
accompaniment ebbs and flows beneath
the light and airy melody.

Star of Light—Laura Farnell. This lush
setting of Dunbar's grief-filled poem affords
tenor-bass choirs many voicing options
with the optional cued tenor and bass
notes. Accessible, dramatic, bold and
sensitive, Star of Light radiates a harmonic
elegance, lovely melodic motifs and
musical challenges. A must for any concert
throughout the year.

Stars I Shall Find—Victor C. Johnson
. "There will be rest, and sure stars shining
over the rooftops crowned with snow,
a reign of rest, serene forgetting, the
music of stillness holy and low." This
masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's
picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful
musical imagery! Soaring melodic lines,
an artfully crafted accompaniment,
contrasting dynamics, and warm, colorful
harmonies create a magical effect. This is
an extraordinary choice for performances
all year!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening—Alex Berko & Tim Cahalan.
Robert Frost's well-known poem is set as
an accessible lyrical piece for treble choirs.
A sweeping piano accompaniment, legato
vocal lines, and chilling harmonies make
this the perfect selection for school and
community winter concerts.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening—Eric Whitacre. One of Eric
Whitacre's most well-known compositions,
Sleep, is available now as it was originally
composed in 2000, using the Robert Frost
poem as its text. While the circumstances of
Frost's text led to the creation of Whitacre
and Silvestri's first beloved collaboration,
this version with the winter-themed text
offers the chance to perform and hear the
music in a completely different light.

Sweet Silent Night—Andy Beck. A gentle
ode to heavenly stars and falling snow,
this original winter-themed work paints a
peaceful scene with delicate vocal lines
and an ethereal piano accompaniment.
Very easily learned, it features the essence
of Silent Night with a secular text that can
be sung at any winter concert. As a special
touch, the final verse can be performed
a cappella for a very effective and
serene ending.

A Symphony of Christmas Light—
Wesley D. Peters. Inspired by the warmth
of John Rutter's Candlelight Carol, this
selection captures the beauty and hope
of the holiday season. Written for treble
choirs of all ages, expressive melodies

symbolic light of Christmas during the
year's darkest days.

There Is Something About December—
Jerry Estes. "So, gather those you love
around, celebrate with joyful sounds. These
are the moments you will remember."

original ballad that doesn't mention any
specific holiday. Tender harmonies wrap
around a tuneful melody in a sweet song
that will bring those feel-good moments to
your winter concert.

There Will Be Rest—Frank Ticheli. Sara
Teasdale's lyric poem looks to the
stars for serenity and promise, and this
handsome setting is superbly crafted by
noted composer Frank Ticheli. Tasteful
harmonic suspensions and rich choral
textures bring this work to life with a
delicate beauty that perfectly expresses
the spirit of the poem. A superior choice
for concert appearances with more
capable choirs.
