Although any piece with abundant references to snow and cold would easily be placed in the “winter†category, “Watch it Snow†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.

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.

The buoyant melody, light syncopations, and simple beginning harmonies nearly sing themselves in this sweet ballad about observing winter through a frosted windowpane. Vivid imagery evokes a chill, while tender music provides warmth. Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. I'm happy here, just watching it snow.

The twelve pieces in A Festive Christmas have been arranged for various wind instruments - providing that brilliant sheen, so apt at Christmas time. The pieces can be performed with organ or piano accompaniment. Jan and Jacob de Haan looked at many different sources for their inspiration: three pieces were chosen from Handel's oratorios, as well as traditional Christmas carols, and two Christmas medleys. Every holiday concert will benefit from that special something these dazzling carols provide.Het gloedvolle geluid van blaasinstrumenten past zonder meer perfect in de kersttijd. De twaalf werken uit deze klassieke kerstmuziekverzameling zijn voor verschillende instrumenten gearrangeerd. Ze zijn naar wens met piano of orgel uit voeren. Debegeleiding staat ook op de bijgevoegde cd voor het geval er geen pianist of organist voorhanden is.
