Wintry inspiration

Leroy Anderson began writing Sleigh Ride — the wintry orchestral standard with the clip-clop horse sounds, the crack of the whip, and the trumpet horse whinny — during a heat wave in July, 1946.

Our surroundings can inspire us — both for what they are and for what they are not. By what we see and by what we long to see.

When something in the universe seeks expression, it can do so independent of seasonal changes.
