Pick a learning view.
Snow can wait, I for got my mit tens;
wipe my nose,
get my new boots on.
I get a lit tle warm in my heart when I think of win ter;
I put my hand in my fa ther’s glove.
I run off where the drifts get deep er;
sleep ing beau ty,
it trips me with a frown.
I hear a voice: “You must learn to stand up
for your self, ’cos I won’t al ways be a round.”
He says: (Gb)when you gon na make up your mind?
(Gb)When you gon na love you as much as I do?
(Gb)When you gon na make up your mind?
’Cos (Cb)things are gon na (Gb)change
so fast.
All the white (Ebm)hors es are (Ebm7)still in bed.
I tell you that I’ll (Gb)al ways
want you near.
You say that things
change,
my

Boys get dis cov ered as win ter melts,
flow ers com pet ing for the sun.
Years go by and I’m here still wait ing,
with er ing where some snow man was.
Mir ror, mir ror, where’s the cry stal pal ace?
But I on ly can see my self
skat ing a round the truth who I am.
But I know, Dad,

About “Winter”
- Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Winter" suitable for a pianist?
- Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Cb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Winter" by Tori Amos in?
- The backing track is in Cb at 60 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Winter" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Winter"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Winter", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Winter" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Winter"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
- Who wrote "Winter"?
- "Winter" was originally performed by Tori Amos. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- What other backing tracks by Tori Amos are available?
- Other accompaniments by Tori Amos: "China", "Cornflake Girl", "Cornflake Girl". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
- What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
- Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Cb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Winter" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
- Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
- Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
