Prairie Snow

I would love to be able to write a "pop" song that would capture the essence of the winter season, but I guess I don't really have it in me to write a "pop" song. Perhaps I could add some words, or even some kind of syncopated rhythm section, but I think that it would compromise this little tonal picture for solo piano of winter out here on the prairie. You can listen to it and download a PDF here.
