Winter Winds is a secular winter piece that paints a portrait of a snowy landscape, with the hissing of the wind heard from the wind players.  The joyful mood celebrates the arrival of winter season.

This work utilizes the first six notes that are taught to beginning band students, with two optional endings…the “long version” includes one accidental (so, 7 notes technically), but the “short” ending sticks to the original six, making this work flexible enough for beginners of any situation.
