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.

Although any piece with abundant references to snow and cold would easily be placed in the ââ¬Åwinter⠬ category, ââ¬ÅWatch it Snowââ¬Â is a song that can be sung at any time of year. The falling snow can serve as an expressive metaphor: just as we must wait for the storm to pass before we begin shoveling our driveways, we must rest and reflect in the moments of calm between the many challenges of life.
