About This Song

“Snowfall” was written in 1941 by Claude and Ruth Thornhill. It’s an unusual song: it’s a cool jazz song, though written in 1941, long before there was such a thing as cool jazz. It’s an evocative and moody song, and quite beautiful.

“Snowfall,” as well as the album of the same name, is available from Apple Music.
