Default I'm not good, at all, at t

I'm not good, at all, at this sort of thing, but I like this group of instruments (at least these sound fonts for them) and wanted to mess around with them a bit.

There are two original melodies here, but dominated by a three note sequence (usually down a major third and then a major fifth) which is mostly an accompaniment figure, and a cadential sequence. Both of these are probably often heard. The overall form is A B A, with a few measures given to some development of the three note downward sequence between the A and the B.

The title occurred because it was snowing when I started messing around and because of a thought from left field about how a group of musicians, among hundred with cancelled flights, might pass the time if the happened to meet in a nearby lounge.

The instruments are--or were--from the Magic sound bank, except for the saxophones, which are from the ZFS bank, and the drums, which are standard GM that comes with the Creative sound cards. I've used the GM piano, in this version, too.

The .not version is too long, but there are no directions, anyhow. I don't think a playing of something like this would likely be replicated.

I had a lot of fun with it. I should say, I am having a lot of fun with it. So much so that I've started another piece with the same group of instruments.

The transposing instruments have concert pitches shown.
