Description:
A new collection of twenty-one art songs reflecting contemporary experiences of, and attitudes towards, the winter season from composers spanning a range of experiences and backgrounds. "The New Winter Songbook" album was commissioned by soprano Rebecca Lea and recorded with pianist Caroline Jaya-Ratnam on the Convivum label. Many, though not all, are settings of secular texts. While more traditional winter themes do recur within the songs–those of cold, loss, stillness, grief and darkness–those of belief, faith, and hope, offer an emotional counterbalance. Each individual composer approaches and explores these themes from their own perspective, lending their voice to a musical tapestry, expressing what it means to reflect upon and celebrate the season of winter today.
