Hi List,



I've made a compilation of the suggestions and ideas received; thank you very very much. This is also my first time doing a compilation so please excuse me if there are any confusions. Some I copied the whole e-mail but some just the name of the pieces.



========

I once programmed a concert called O SNOW and it included lots of various holiday music but centered around songs with the word snow. The title obviously came from Edward Elgar's "O Snow." We also sang "Water Under Snow is Weary."



Two Latvian CarolsFairly Simple, a cappella

Ziemas Svetki Winterfest

Balts sniedzins snieg A gentle snow



Winter Cantata Flute and Marimba Persichetti

-Quite esoteric, dissonant, but yet beautiful and effectivve.



Winter Seclusion

Gentlest Fall of Snow

One Umbrella

Of Crimson Ice

The Branch is Black

Epilogue



for general fun and silliness:

PDQ Bach's Good King Kong Looked Out, or It's Christmas and We're

Pagans(Treble Clef Music?)

Mozart Canon, with new words "The Weather Song"

Cold and Fugue Season (based on Bach fugue)



for simplicity:

Black Snake Wind by Mary Goetze



for beauty:

Cloud Capped Towers by R. Vaughan Williams

49. Gesang der Geister Uber den Wassern by Schubert

Twilight Song by B. Ellingboe





LOVE SONGS IN THE ROUND by John Biggs (SSA & piano)

"A Long Winter's Night"



'Frozen Teardops Fall' published by Alliance Music Inc. (Houston, TX). (“The piece was written for a girl's chorus and her poetry is very evocative of the deep winter. The sentiment behind the poem is redolent of the Christmas period but is very definitely secular.” )
=========
My question was....

Hi list,

My choir, a small women's choir around 20 voices, has
started looking for a theme for our coming winter concert
and would like suggestions. For this concert we would like
to do something not exactly Christmas, but rather something
wintery. Any suggestions would be very much apperciated.

Thanks once again.
