Additional info/contents	Aufsteigende Linien in Blech- und Holzbläsern kontrastieren den weichen Einstieg und das Ende dieses aussergewöhnlich gut instrumentierten Werks; dieser wunderbare Choral zeichnet das Bild eines feierlichen winterlichen Schneefalls. Ein Tonartwechsel von F- nach As-Dur steigert das Stück zu einem dramatischen musikalischen Höhepunkt und schliesslich zu einem weichen und gedämpften Ende. Ein exzellentes Lehrstück für lyrische Phrasierungstechniken. Soaring lines in the brass and woodwinds contrast the soft opening and closing textures of an exceptionally well-scored work; this beautiful chorale paints a picture of a solemn winter snowfall. A key change from F to Ab builds the piece to a dramatic musical climax and ultimately a soft and hushed conclusion. An excellent teaching piece for lyrical phrasing techniques.
