Music played an enormous role in the works of William Shakespeare, while his own sonnets, poems and soliloquies have provided continuing inspiration for many composers through the years. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection, inspired by the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death in 2016, is an exciting anthology of choral works that are settings of Shakespeare's words.

More recent settings from 20th century and contemporary composers include Ernest Moeran's Sigh No More, Ladies, Gary Carpenter's Lo, Here, The Gentle Lark and John Tavener's Fear No More and Look In Thy Glass.Not only this, the Shakespeare Choral Collection boasts several works that were specially commissioned, including John Joubert's Be Not Afeard, Richard Sisson's Light Thickens and Pawel Lukaszewki's Weary With Toil, I Haste Me To My Bed.

This is a powerful message for winter and holiday concerts.Vicki Tucker Courtney's piano accompaniment is gentle and moving under vocals that sing in harmony throughout. Gentle yet dramatic in dynamic contrasts. Superb choral writing!

Peter Assad composed both the text and music for this madrigal. The text can stand for the uniqueness of a snowflake as the title dictates or metaphorically for someone else as perhaps the dedication to his wife connotes.

Advanced high school college and community choirs will enjoy this lovely piece in winter concerts or whenever snowflakes are near. Medium difficulty.
