IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER
Posted: 05 Dec 2017, 22:36My Christmas offering for 2017. Not a Christmas 'pop' tune this time but instead a straightforward traditional Christmas Carol.
The music for In A Bleak Midwinter was written by Gustav Holst (Planet Suite etc) in 1906, based on the 1872 poem by Christina Rossetti. Originally quite simply written for Congregational singing using 5 chords (3 major, 2 minor), I have arranged Verses 2 and 3 using slightly different or embellished chords.
Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a happy, healthy, loving and musical 2018 - https://app.box.com/s/wb8aojwbb7sfwx935qk7lbvimmz812ue
Backing track created by me in Band In A Box. BTs available here if anyone is interested -
