Winter Words was commissioned by the fanfare orchestra Oranje Minnertsga and is dedicated to Omar Tomasoni, principal trumpet with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The piece consists of 2 parts. The first part Frozen Night, shows off the lyrical side of the trumpet. In the second part, Dancing Snow, the emphasis is more on virtuosic trumpet playing. There is also an adapted solo part for flugelhorn available, making the solo playable for those players.
