CGE120 Footprints in the Snow (SAB)
Description
Creating a mood full of wonder, mystery and anticipation, Gilpin's expressive original is a superb choice for your winter or holiday concert. The hauntingly beautiful minor melody is first stated in unison. It then expands into full harmony, culminating in an ending of quiet unison. This piece provides wonderful opportunities to teach phrasing, text interpretation, rubato and to experience a full range of dynamics. I see footprints in the snow, where they lead, I do not know. Who is this traveler all alone? Should I follow.....or turn for home?
Voicing: SAB
Composer: Greg Gilpin
Season: Holiday, Winter
