4 Winter PathetiqueAudrey Snyder. The
well-known melody of the andante cantabile
movement from Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique
is coupled with expressive original lyrics to create
an evocative winter soundscape. "Once again,
the wintertime has come; from heaven, gently
sifting, softly now the snow is drifting..." The
words and melody fit so well together- this is one
of the most expressive and singable winter pieces
available! Highly recommended!
