I chose "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson and His Pops Concert Orchestra because it's a classic and heard many times during the cold, snowy season. Anderson lived from 1908-1975; but his music lives on. He was an American composer of short, light concert pieces. John Williams described him as "one of the great American masters of light orchestral music.
There are other versions with words; but I think you'll agree that this was a good choice. Enjoy!

This is a much loved orchestral piece composed by Leroy Anderson in 1948. "Sleigh Ride" although not originally written for Christmas has so many association...

I saw the picture and had to come in and see what the post was about. Thanks for that. It looks really wintery.

I'm new with this piece. It sounds thematically, like a sort of musical background in classical cartoon.
