lighthearted song about snow gives

singing abilities (optionally), vocal slides,
and finger snaps! Reminiscent of jazz from
the early 1900s yet keeping a contemporary
feel, this is sure to be a hit with your singers.
Add the track for even more fun!

The Snow—Ruth Morris Gray. Crisp
eighth-note figures and steady sleigh bells
create the feeling of a jaunty sleigh ride
while contrasting legato sections evoke the
chill of blowing snow. Sopranos exclaim the
title over and over as others interject with
words from Emily Dickinson's wintertime
poem. A fantastic winter feature!

poem sparkles with wonderful musical
imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully
crafted accompaniment, contrasting

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

This Year (Ring Out the Old, Ring In the
