WHISPERED & DEFIANT
Story behind the song
WHISPERED & DEFIANT, Winter is the quietest of all the Seasons. The mesmerizing introduction consists of a slow pileup of bold chords. Solo passages increase in intensity, until they yield to a vigorous repeated-note section at 1:23, another well-known passage from the Seasons. The hushed tones resume, and we hear shivering, chattering, and trembling all lead to the rousing close.
