"It's a wonder of winter when ice crystals form, high in the sky on a cold winter's morn. Watch the magic of winter as snow crystals fall, drifting down from the clouds, a delight for us all." A lovely e-minor melody begins in unison voices, then eases into a rich G-major choral harmonic fabric. With a brief passage of independent vocal scoring and a few places with accessible divisi, this is truly a splendid musical winter portrait!
