"The Snow Queen" (a BBC production from 2005) is based on the fairytale by Andersen and tells the story of orphan boy Kay being taken to the palace of the evil Snow Queen. His friend Gerda then sets out on a perilous journey to save him. Throughout the movie adaptation there is some wonderful orchestral and choral music with solo parts, written by Paul K. Joyce, including a piece which uses the lyrics of "Do Not Stand".
In this particular scene the boy's sled is found in the river and seen as a sign that he has drowned.
The film itself, which lasts just under an hour, is true to the atmosphere of all good fairy-tales and recommended for those of any age who are keen to get a little enchanted.
