The New Winter Songbook project is a new collection of twenty-one songs reflecting contemporary experiences of and attitudes towards the winter season from composers spanning a range of experiences and backgrounds. Many, though not all, are settings of secular texts. Whilst more traditional winter themes do recur within the songs –those of cold, loss, stillness, grief and darkness – those of belief, faith, and hope, offer an emotional counterbalance. Each individual composer approaches and explores these themes from their own perspective, lending their voice to a musical tapestry, expressing what it means to reflect upon and celebrate the season of winter today. The songs are to be published by Hal Leonard as an anthology in November 2025.
