Snow Suite
is the soundtrack to
childhood’s winter
adventures. Tasting
snowflakes, watching a
snowstorm through the
living room window, or
falling in the soft snow
is always exciting and
sparks the imagination.
Each movement of this
suite paints a scene. In
Snowflakes, the pizzicato
notes depict flakes
landing on a nose or
finger long enough to be
marveled at before
melting away.
Snowstorm’s
perpetual motion feel,
with dramatic changes in
dynamics, draws the
listener into imagining
wild winter winds.
Finally, after the storm,
children and adults alike
fall into the powdery
snow creating charming
and delightful Snow
Angels.Performance
NotesMost students are
adept at pizzicato by the
grade 1 orchestra level,
and this piece provides
the opportunity to review
pizzicato technique for
good tone. Recommended
pizzicato technique
includes the thick part
of the fingertip over the
fingerboard, producing
tone with depth and
allowing the resonance to
create a rich orchestra
sound. The detaché
bowing is truly detached
in Snowstorm with
contrasting legato bow
strokes in Snow
Angels.For schools that
encourage writing across
the curriculum, teachers
may encourage students to
write a short imaginative
story about the snow
themes in this music.
STEAM (Science Technology
Engineering Arts, and
Mathematics) lessons may
include snowflake crystal
structures and snowstorm
weather patterns.
