Program Notes
Snow Ride, or sometimes written as Snowride, is a light orchestra piece which began life on a recorded music library disc but deserves to stand alone as a staple seasonal item for orchestra.
- Program Note by Philip Lane
With the utmost thanks to Christine Parker, Angela's longtime partner, and David Hegarty, her archivist, for granting the permission and access to Ms. Morley scores to make this arrangement of Snow Ride possible.
