Winter Music was composed for the St. Paul Civic Symphony conducted by Edouard Forner, on a CCP commission administered by the Minnesota Composers Forum. Originally composed in 1981, the piece was revised in 1984 and again in 2012. Winter Music is part of a cycle of the seasons in which Summer Music is for a chamber orchestra of 14 soloists, and Autumn Music and Spring Music are for solo piano.
Parts are available upon request.
