Winter with all its moods has always been captured by composers in their music: Inspired by romantic walks in winter, dancing snowflakes, a look out of windows covered with ice-ferns, or an adventurous sleigh-ride, such musical winter dreams often became well-known and popular classics.The edition Winter Dreams contains a large number of these works, like the famous melodies from J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio or Handel's Messiah as well as evergreens from Winter Wonderland to the soundtrack of the cult film Three Wishes for Cinderella. / 3 Flûtes A Bec (SSA)

Par FORBES L'ESTRANGE JOANNA / L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER. Commissioned by Finchley Children?s Music Group, Winter Songs by Joanna Forbes L?Estrange and Alexander L?Estrange comprises three contrasting songs for upper voices and piano accompaniment, setting lyrics by Joanna. Each song presents a view of winter which, for different reasons, implores us to value kindness and compassion above all else. Hibernation sets the wintery scene, leading into the musical theatre-style song Reality check: a touching tale from the perspective of a homeless person. The jazzy and uplifting Presence completes the set; its swinging style featuring a fun scat section; the song?s chorus is perfect for adding choreography. Winter Songs would be ideal for school and youth choir performances at any time of the year but particularly during the winter months, including at Christmas. / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Hautes et Piano

Sung in unison, two, three, and eventually four-part round, this beautiful melody was penned by sixteenth century master of polyphony Thomas Tallis. An excellent teaching piece, the lyrical tune (set with an original winter text) sits so well in the voice. As a special touch, phrases from 'In the Bleak Midwinter? are artfully woven throughout. / 2 Parties Mixtes

In the bleak midwinter is a setting for four-part choir of the famous poem by Christina Rossetti. This poem came to mind when I was walking down a Cornish lane on a cold, bleak November day, and I began to put the words to music as I walked. I was a little hesitant to write a setting of this text in the light of other much loved versions, but I felt inspired so decided to go for it! An atmosphere of cold, winter stillness is conveyed in this piece with its gentle dissonances and slow, homophonic movement, and the music follows the natural rhythm of the words, resulting in frequent changes of bar-length. Each verse is set to the same music, but in the final verse the music responds to the climax of the poem, with the words 'give my heart' repeated three times, rising in intensity but then falling away again to finish as the piece began, in quiet stillness. A natural shape and line to each phrase should be led by the text, with subtle shading off and no hurrying at the end of lines. Likewise, the poem's punctuation should guide breathing. Overall, a sense of space should prevail but without the tempo dragging. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) A Cappella
