Product Description

DECEMBER WINDS - ELEMENTARY STRING ORCHESTRA with optional Piano & Percussion

DECEMBER WINDS is an example of "Program Music". It is a "tone poem" or a "sound piece" that was composed for a second year String Orchestra. It tells the story of a winter day that starts out cold and peaceful but soon the snow starts to fall and the winds start to pick up. Before long, a winter storm has arrived! You will hear many winter tunes stated briefly throughout. These represent various melodies that are carried around by the wind. You will hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" when school is cancelled! I hope it makes you think of snowmen, sledding, ice skating and snowballs flying. All the wonderful things that make winter a special season.
