String Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.837263 Composed by Garth M. Williams. Folk,Standards. Score and parts. 16 pages. Garth M. Williams (Socan) #3096753. Published by Garth M. Williams (Socan) (A0.837263). A Winter's Lament was written during our western Canada winter of 2015. Although it tends to be a hospitable climate, it also tends, at times to be very grey and wet during the winter months. With that in mind, I wrote this fiddle ballad which records, in the opening, my thoughts about the bright, warm spring months to come. The middle section tends to be somewhat melancholic about the greyness of our winter, but it, in turn, is followed by a recap of what we can look forward to when winter actually departs and spring sunshine returns. This orchestral composition gives the violins, violas and celli and opportunity to express the melody.
