A winter’s tale…





From youtube:
"When Godess Freyja and her putti company appear on the winter sky in a chariot driven by cats it is time to celebrate the arrival of the first snow. Well I made it up because Freyja was really the Godess of Fertility but then again, maybe she is pregnant with snow and gives birth to all the little snow flakes of which some become stars to lighten up the winter darkness and some drop down on earth to just lie there for a while and twinkle back to the stars. or she just inspires people to invent some new myths while waiting for spring.

Music by Lars-Erik Larsson (1908-1986), En vintersaga (The Winter's Tale) Op.18 The Stockholm Sinfonietta, Jan-Olov Wedin cond. (rec. 1980-81)"
