Summary of This Score
Inspired by Raymond Briggs' Christmas story, this suite for flute and piano sets to music the adventures of the boy and the snowman who comes to life. Having become a modern classic of children's literature, the story gained worldwide popularity through regular broadcasts of the award-winning animated film "The Snowman."
The composer Howard Blake here transposes the film's universe into a true film music suite : memorable themes, wintry atmospheres, character contrasts, and a narrative structure that "tells" the story without needing images. The piano sets the scene (harmonic colors, rhythm, texture), while the flute carries the melodies with singing quality and lightness. The presence of the famous "Walking In The Air" makes it a top choice for working on musicality, phrasing, and breathing, while offering a piece immediately recognizable to the audience.
- Building The Snowman
- Dance Of The Snowmen
- Walking In The Air
