This work, When
Christ Was Born of Mary
Free, sets the words of a
traditional carol dating
from the 15th century
sensitively in D minor
for the verse, moving to
a more joyous F for the
Chorus. Darke's papers
list this piece as having
been scored for Soprano
solo, Chorus SATB and
Piano. Harold E Darke was
an English composer and
Organist of international
renown. Darke composed
extensively for choir and
Organ. In 1916, he
established the Monday
lunchtime Organ recitals
at St Michael's Cornhill
which continue to this
day, the longest-running
such series in the world.
His setting of Christina
Rosetti's poem In the
Bleak Midwinter created a
melody and lilting Organ
accompanimentthat has
never fallen from favour.
It is regarded as one of
the greatest of Christmas
carols.
