Do you want to make an impact? Get snowing.
The first snowflake melts on contact with the ground. No impact. The second, third, fourth do the same. It’s only with thousands of flakes, a prepared ground, and time that we see appreciable snowfall. It’s only in the repetition that the snow can make an impact.
My wife and I started commissioning new music for our ensembles around 2008. Snowflake by snowflake, we’ve commissioned more, premiered more, increased the impact. Now, we’ve got a list of about 40 pieces, mostly published with prominent choral publishers, thanks to our work. That’s some appreciable snowfall, and not something we even imagined when we started. We just started.
The first snow doesn’t amount to much, but you can’t get a snowbank without the snow starting.
