Tis Winter Now

朗費羅的這首經典詩歌蘊含著一種質樸之美。詩歌以冬天作為精神隱喻，帶領我們從絕望走向希望，提醒我們耶誕節的真正意義。音樂近乎簡約，如雪般飄浮在晶瑩剔透的鋼琴伴奏之上。音樂素材緩慢而優雅地發展和擴展，動人的文字在我們身邊旋轉，直到最後在上帝更新之愛的應許和最後和絃的深沉共鳴中得到安息。聲音中的寧靜！

'Tis Winter Now

原文簡介:
There is a pristine beauty in this setting of Longfellow's classic poem. Using winter as a spiritual metaphor, the text takes us from despair to hope, reminding us of the true heart of Christmas. The music, almost minimalistic in nature, floats like snow above a crystal piano accompaniment. Slowly but with great elegance, the material develops and expands, the winsome text swirling around us until finally finding rest in the promise of God's renewing love and the deep resonance of the final chords. Serenity in sound!
