Please enjoy a short clip from our show last night. This new song is my
first performed-in-public original, and is based on a poem by Charlotte
(SIC!) Brontë. I wrote the melody and Brian Sandstrom wrote the changes. It's
about roses, holly and winter and so I thought it would be a good song
for the Winter Solstice. It was our first time performing it. I had
written it for my Madrigal group, but I thought it was kind of mellow
and could be stretched into jazz with the right changes, which Brian
wrote beautifully. I was inspired by Esperanza Spalding.
