A Snow-shoe Song by Michael John Kegrize — Lyrics
Hilloo!
Now gather all, ye men in white,
The wind blows keen, the moon is bright;
The sparkling snow lies firm and white;
Then tie the shoes,
No time to lose,
For we must climb the hill tonight.
We laugh to scorn the angry blast,
The mountain top is gained and past;

About A Snow-shoe Song
This is a lively SATB setting of an English text that paints a vivid picture of a winter adventure. The music accompanies a group of friends preparing for a snowshoe expedition by moonlight. The words describe the exhilarating climb up the mountain, the swift descent, and the joyous arrival at a warm inn. Kegrize's arrangement captures the energetic spirit of the outing, from the initial preparation and the challenging ascent to the celebratory conclusion of a successful journey. The secular part-song is perfect for a choir looking to bring a sense of outdoor exhilaration and hearty camaraderie to their program.
