The first part of my day has been spent racing to meet yet another deadline (and losing, of course, but my editors are used to it). Now I sit here, drinking my tea and watching the snowfall, awaiting the imminent blizzard and lazily thinking of music to suit the storm.

Julius Fucik, “Winterstürme”

Richard Wagner, Die Walkure: Act I, “Winterstürme”

Franz Liszt, Transcendental Etudes: “Chasse-neige”

Prokofiev, Alexander Nevsky: Battle on the Ice

Vaughan Williams, Symphony No. 7 “Sinfonia Antarctica”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdyFe01NVU0

Henry Purcell, King Arthur: Song of the Cold Genius (but why the shorts?)

Any other ideas?
