Purchase Score

The shimmering frozen landscapes of winter can give us pause. They can make us stop and contemplate life's transience and beauty. Winter Prayer is a meditation on these feelings. The sounds of bells are heard above undulating, slowly moving textures painting a frozen wintery landscape from which elegiac lyrical lines sprout.
