Abstract "A new collection of twenty-one songs reflecting contemporary experiences of, and attitudes towards, the winter season from composers spanning a range of experiences and backgrounds. 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."--Back cover.
