What Concert Band piece reminds you most of winter?

Kamara

Walking In A Winter Wonder Land. The lyrics express the title appropriately!

I was going to say "Let it snow" but realized that is just a line from winter Wonderland! A lot of our Christmas music is about winter though.

Pcik your favourite Sleigh Ride!

"Sleigh Ride" - LeRoy Anderson
"Die Musikalische Schlittenfahrt" - Leopold Mozart
"Troika" - Sergei Prokofiev
"Sleigh Ride" - Frederick Delius

And if you really want to go out of this galaxy, listen to this verion by C-3PO and R2-D2.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - even though snow makes no sound when it falls, the music definitely evokes that feeling!

For me it would be either the Hallelujah Chorus (which, funny enough, was actual written as an Easter piece) or Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. I have played both pieces with RHLI Regimental and BCB.

I've always like March of the Toys or Greensleeves for winter.

I love "In The Bleak Midwinter" even though many of the lyrics refer to Christmas. Good job Mr. Holst!
