Matériel : Vocal Score
This famous text is beautifully set to music by Texas music educator and composer Laura Farnell. The long lush phrases of “In the Bleak Midwinter” help teach breathing and dynamics while the tempo and legato styleallows time to focus on vowels and tone both within unison and multi-part setting. Repetition of parts make the dissonances easy to learn. The text has been adapted to keep religious aspects as general as possible for schoolperformances. Full piano accompaniment on Piano Trax 2004 (CD0218)

Composed in 1934, this original, through-composed setting includes all five stanzas of the Rossetti text--even the breastful of milk stanza often purged from hymnals. The minor tonality, elegant and spare choral writing, and lush piano accompaniment make this a piece your choir will cherish and remember.

6.88 x 10.5 inches.
A magical carol setting that transports the listener into Christina Rosetti's beloved Christmas text written in London (listen for the subtle hints of Big Ben!). Ethereal melodic echos eventually build to soaring vocal lines before giving way to a tender final stanza of What can I give him, poor as I am.... An intimate yet deeply moving arrangement for SATB or SSA voices with piano.
