Classical Sheet Music for Winter
The weather here in the UK has been surprisingly mild for this time of year!
Normally, we’d be bundling up in hats, scarves, and gloves while scraping ice off our car windscreens. Local council workers would be out spreading grit on the roads and paths, and kids would be running through frosty leaves, giggling as they watched their breath in the chilly air.
It’s a reminder of how climate change is making its mark.
But even without the usual wintery scenes, we’ve got plenty of cozy winter music suggestions for you to download and enjoy playing!
K605 Sleigh Ride – Mozart
Sleigh Ride: No.3 of 3 German Dances by Mozart. This joyful piece evokes Santas sleigh swooping over the rooftops.
Nutcracker Suite – Tchaikovsky
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite is always popular winter music. We have a selection of the movements for different instruments such as Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Pas de Deux and Waltz of the Flowers.
Christmas Oratorio – Bach
Pastorale, the the beautiful interlude from J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is a gently uplifting piece. Perfect music for winter.
Christmas Tree Suite – Liszt
In Dulci Jubilo; Les bergers à la crèche; Shepherds at the Manger: No. 3 from Weihnachtsbaum, or Christmas Tree Suite by Franz Liszt. A delightful winter music piece that’s great to play with friends.
Op.8 No.4 The Four Seasons Winter – Vivaldi
Winter: Allegro 1st movement from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Another favourite of ours.
The Snow is Dancing – Debussy
Childrens Corner 4 The Snow is Dancing by Claude Debussy. This is a lovely piece to play and great for the audience too. Debussy cleverly interprets the snowflakes and they drift down from the sky. Winter music for everyone to enjoy.
Skaters Waltz – Waldteufel
Emile Waldteufel really captures the gliding movements across the ice with his Skaters Waltz.
So there we are, whether we have a drop in temperature soon or not, you are sure to find something to inspire you in our winter music selection.
