A Winter Scene
Publisher Desc.
"A Winter Scene" is based on the Gustav Holst tune CRANHAM and Christina Rossetti's poem "In the Bleak Midwinter" beginning as an impressionistic and literal presentation of the poem's first stanza: yearning for the Savior to be born. This lovely, gentle piece finishes in a major key in celebration of the prophecy fulfilled. Orchestrated for 4-6 octaves handbells with many optional instruments: 3 oct. handchimes, 3 oct. Petit & Fritsen or Whitechapel handbells, and percussion (gong, windchimes, suspended cymbal), this ethereal Level 3+ piece will add some delicate frosting to your Advent and Christmas services and concerts. 82 measures. Begins in G Major (with hints of E minor) then modulates to F Major.
