By Aeryn Lau. Composed by Sarah Jaysmith. Arranged by Sarah Jaysmith. This edition: pdf. A Cappella, Contemporary, Holiday. 8 pages. Sarah Jaysmith #1381038. Published by Sarah Jaysmith (A0.1820962).
Is Winter Not A Friend? (Five Seasonal Madrigals No. 4) is a sparkling contemporary madrigal for SATB a cappella that finds warmth inside the cold. Built around Gil Jaysmith’s vivid winter images—skates carving ice, frosted windows, snowflakes, stark black-and-white contrast—this 3½-minute gem moves with bright momentum and a touch of playful bite, returning again and again to its irresistible refrains. It even includes traditional fa-la-la-ing, giving a friendly nod to madrigal style while keeping the sound-world fresh and modern.
Written in clear, singable lines with crisp rhythmic energy and expressive dynamic shape, it’s ideal for choirs that want seasonal repertoire beyond the usual carols—something wintry, clever, and concert-ready. The text ultimately turns toward hope (“all potential craves a spark… the cold abyss will mend”), making it a satisfying arc for performances in winter concerts, themed programmes, or contemporary choral sets.
Sarah Jaysmith has been arranging and composing choral music for many years. Find her at www.sarahjaysmith.com
