A musical setting of the poem by Linda Pastan, this choral work is about winter and the feelings evoked by falling snow. The string orchestra accompaniment was written to satisfy contest rules, but an organ fills the bill quite well. There is also a piano accompaniment version which was performed by the College Chorus of the College of Marin on December 8, 2005.
