Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.921648 Composed by Text: Christina Rosetti, Music: Gustav Holst. Arranged by Tom Dwight. Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. Tom Dwight #3675793. Published by Tom Dwight (A0.921648). In the Bleak Midwinter is a beautiful poem by Christina Rosetti and was later set to music by Gustav Holst. In this arrangement, I hope to capture not only the beauty of the words and melody but also the starkness and chill of its setting.It is written for SATB with a descant on verse 4. There are also two optional C instrument parts. I suggest that the instruments refrain from playing throughout - possibly playing together for the intro and again on verse 4. The rest of the piece they might rotate in and out.Similarly, with the choir, consider making at least one of the verses unison. Use your discretion.2018 Holiday Contest Entry

Woodwindly.com #902696. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1313969). String Quartet In the Bleak Mid-Winter is a popular Christmas Carol which has been set to music by both Gustav Holst and Harold Darke. This string quartet arrangement is based on the Holst version and combines the composer's beautifully simple harmony with the arranger's own counter-melodies and intricate part writing. Lovely writing for all instruments. An ideal work for Christmas concert programming.This is a through-composed instrumental arrangement that explores the melody and harmonies of the Holst hymn in 3 differently arranged verses. After a short introduction the first verse uses Holst’s original 4-part harmonisation in its beautiful simplicity, with the first violin playing the melodic line. In verse 2, the viola presents the tune in a lower register while the 'cello plays a Baroque style ‘walking bass’. The violins weave countermelodies above them, introducing new material for a Pachelbel-like interlude of an ascending sequence - bringing the music to a climax before subsiding into verse 3. Here a slightly ornamented version of the tune returns with the new material continuing in the bass line. After another smaller climax we return to the original Holst as the work ends quietly and thoughtfully.
