Publisher Desc.  Winter Music was composed for my students at Old Trail School. I wanted to create something celebratory and colorful that would also honor their playing abilities and offer room for growth. Open stings are encouraged and are very much part of the asthetic. The piece features the violas prominently with the melody as well as optional piano or harp and percussion parts. If the percussion parts are used--and I recommend it if possible--they may be divided between two or four players.
