Description
- Instrumentation: VOICE HIGH
- Model # 1879397
Format: Book
Version: High Voice and Piano
A new collection of twenty-one art songs reflecting contemporary experiences of, and attitudes towards, the winter season from composers spanning a range of experiences and backgrounds. The New Winter Songbook album was commissioned by soprano Rebecca Lea and recorded with pianist Caroline Jaya-Ratnam on the Convivum label. Many, though not all, are settings of secular texts. While more traditional winter themes do recur within the songs-those of cold, loss, stillness, grief and darkness-those of belief, faith, and hope, offer an emotional counterbalance. Each individual composer approaches and explores these themes from their own perspective, lending their voice to a musical tapestry, expressing what it means to reflect upon and celebrate the season of winter today.
