This new yet historical winter cantata features 6 new secular texts on varying themes of winter:
1. Winter Comes Again-- the changing of seasons from autumn to winter, evoking themes of Thanksgiving
2. The Wind-- blustery winter storms, vividly described
3. Let's Go Sledding-- lighthearted and enthusiastic zeal for winter play
4. So Long Ago-- hearing family stories by the fireside
5. Your Brother Called-- a frantic family member relays news of a flight delay
6. In Wintertime-- deep and silent winter weather, looking toward springtime
