Uses: Christmas Concert Scripture: Matthew 9:37-38 Luke 2:6-8 This pleasing menagerie of carols is a treasure trove of memorable themes that sing It's Christmas! A running eighth note pattern gently leads us into the first carol In the Bleak Midwinter. The approachable SAB voicing provides a gratifying texture that shimmers with hope and promise. The Holly and the Ivy and Once in Royal David's City also make an appearance before quietly winding down to a lovely rendering of the final verse of the treasured Rossetti poem.
