Winter Songs

受芬奇利兒童音樂小組委託，瓊安娜-福布斯-勒埃斯特朗奇和亞歷山大-勒埃斯特朗奇創作的《冬日之歌》由三首對比鮮明的高聲部歌曲和鋼琴伴奏組成，並由瓊安娜作詞。每首歌曲都展現了冬天的景象，出於不同的原因，懇求我們將善良和同情心看得比什麼都重要。冬眠》營造了冬日的氛圍，引出了音樂劇風格的歌曲《現實檢查》：從一個無家可歸者的角度講述了一個感人的故事。這首歌的副歌部分非常適合加入舞蹈動作。冬季之歌》非常適合學校和青年合唱團在一年中的任何時候演出，尤其是在冬季，包括耶誕節

原文簡介:
Commissioned by Finchley Children’s Music Group, Winter Songs by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and Alexander L’Estrange comprises three contrasting songs for upper voices and piano accompaniment, setting lyrics by Joanna. Each song presents a view of winter which, for different reasons, implores us to value kindness and compassion above all else. Hibernation sets the wintery scene, leading into the musical theatre-style song Reality check: a touching tale from the perspective of a homeless person. The jazzy and uplifting Presence completes the set; its swinging style featuring a fun scat section; the song’s chorus is perfect for adding choreography. Winter Songs would be ideal for school and youth choir performances at any time of the year but particularly during the winter months, including at Christmas.
