Composed by Sarah Jaysmith. A Cappella,Contemporary. Octavo. 12 pages. Sarah Jaysmith #4969183. Published by Sarah Jaysmith (A0.849291).

This is a delightful setting of the text by Christina Rossetti. It is an accessible piece for intermediate choir, and will appeal to all ages. This piece was one of several pieces chosen to be Recommended by The C7 Prize for choral music. 

It is written in a classical style, but also has a modal quality and uses hemiolas for rhythmic interest. The text celebrates the joy of Spring, and the fact that it can be a time of personal growth. The music reflects this in a lilting theme that builds to an exuberant finale.

The piece is for SATB, and the duration is c. 4 minutes. This excerpt is from a recording of the piece performed by the Sainte-Anne Singers (Quebec, Canada).

Programme note:

Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894) was an English poet famous for writing the words of the Christmas carol 'In the Bleak Midwinter'.

Her poem 'A Birthday' was written in 1857 and first published in the April 1861 issue of 'Macmillan’s Magazine', a popular British monthly periodical. In 1862 the poem was included in Rossetti's first full-published collection: 'Goblin Market and Other Poems'.

By Matthew M Tang. By Words: Christina Rossetti Melody: Gustav Holst, Harold Darke. Arranged by Matthew M Tang. A Cappella,Christmas,Classical,Holiday. Octavo. 13 pages. Matthew M Tang #693187. Published by Matthew M Tang (A0.1088976).

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 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!!!

Composed by Christina Rossetti, Rebekah Wilson, and Traditional Irish. Arranged by Rebekah Wilson. Christmas,Classical,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Traditional. Octavo. 7 pages. Rebekah Wilson #129264. Published by Rebekah Wilson (A0.518559).

A simple yet beautiful arrangement of the traditional Christmas carol for SATB choir and pipe organ. Opening with soprano solo and gentle accompaniment, each verse of Christina Rossetti's poem develops through choral a cappella, chromatic vocal harmony and concludes with a strong organ statement. This arrangement is ideal for choirs of all sizes, but works particularly well with chamber choir and can be used as an introit or centrepiece to any Christmas performance.

A contemporary setting of 'IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER' by Christina Rossetti.
The work was written for Bath Spa University's Chamber Choir. It was first performed on the 4th December 2014, as part of a Carol Service in Bath Abbey, England.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, 
In the bleak midwinter, long ago. 

Our God, Heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and Earth shall flee away when He comes to reign. 
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 

What can I give him poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man I would do my part
Yet what I can I give him, give my heart. 

Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

Christina Rossetti's beloved In the Bleak Midwinter sings beautifully in this lovely setting for expressive choirs. The meaningful text and breathtaking music are worthy of artistic interpretation. A gracefully supportive piano contributes a few soloistic flourishes and an optional C-instrument (oboe on our recording) adds a gentle obbligato.
