Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Winter soundscapes is a collection of seven evocative sound pictures, which conjure up the landscapes and feelings of a traditional hard winter. The pieces contrast one another, with relaxed fireside scenes next to relentless snowstorms, allowing young players to experiment with a number of styles and techniques. This is a great alternative to carols for December concerts and suitable for working on long after Christmas too. Ideal concert fillers for the Intermediate string quartet with the added flexibility of a violin 3 alternative to viola.
Includes part for violin 3 as an alternative to viola.
Performance notes in English and German.
The Yule log crackles cheerfully as it burns = Fröhlich knisternd brennt das Weihnachtsscheit -- A blizzard blows in from the north = Ein Schneesturm aus dem Norden -- Icicles stay frozen all day = Eiszapfen schmelzen auch tagsüber nicht -- In the watery sunlight, snow melts and drips = Im milchigen Licht der Sonne, der Schnee schmilzt und tropft -- Wisselton, wasselton, here's to good cheer! = Wisselton, wasselton, gute Laune -- The ice dance spectacular attracts a huge crowd = Der Eistanz fasziniert die Menge -- Myriads of stars stretch endlessly across the sky = Unzählige Sterne am Himmelszelt.
