The Wintry Day - Alto/Bass Solo with 2 Flutes and Piano
This song is told from the perspective of a faithful pioneer who left homeland to cross the vast prairies and rugged mountains to forge a new home in the valley of the Great Salt Lake. One wintry day the author paused to give thanks for his new home.

About the Song: My sister, with a lovely, deep alto voice, wanted a song to sing in Church that told of love for homeland. She said that low altos do not have enough hymn arrangements specifically written for them. She also wanted her daughter (a beginning flute player) to accompany her. So she requested that I arrange this song with two flutes so that her daughter would feel more secure playing with a friend, also a novice flute player.
This arrangement would also suit a bass soloist. It may also be performed without the flute or clarinet accompaniment.
