This setting of See amid the winter's snow was written for Philip Redfern and the choir of St George's School, Edinburgh, who first performed it in December 2014. The lovely words, which I've adapted slightly from the 19th-century carol by Edward Caswall, have been a part of my Christmas celebrations for as long as I can remember, and there are several wonderful tunes associated with the text. In writing this new melody I wanted to explore again the timeless nature of the poetry. This setting should be performed with a gentle forward energy but always with a legato and expressive sound. / Choeur SA Et Piano

Amy Bernon's imaginative style is fully evident in this charming winter piece for younger groups. Singers will explore varied musical styles as the text considers different songs the snow might sing . . . if the snow could sing. A simple tune- a lovely lullaby- a hearty tale- and finally, an invitation to sing along. / 2 Parties Mixtes
