Soaring lines in the brass and woodwinds contrast the soft opening and closing textures of an exceptionally well-scored work; this beautiful chorale paints a picture of a solemn winter snowfall. A key change from F to Ab builds the piece to a dramatic musical climax and ultimately a soft and hushed conclusion. An excellent teaching piece for lyrical phrasing techniques.
