In the Bleak Midwinter

This beautiful arrangement combines two of the most common and well known melodies of "In the Bleak Midwinter," a poem written by Christina Rossetti, into the same song. The first melody by Gustav Holst and the second by Harold Darke. This arrangement will take the audience through a journey of key signatures beginning in F Major, continuing through Bb, G, E and finally ending in Ab Major. Each key signature helps to convey the meaning of that particular verse. This is geared more towards a smaller choir, preferably a choir of 16 singers and it is also meant for one on a part situations.The harmonies in this arrangement are simple, yet powerful and reverent. I hope this arrangement helps remind us of the real reason why we celebrate Christmas. Gifts and Santa Claus are fun traditions but the real reason why we celebrate Christmas is because it is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope you guys enjoy it!!!
