SKU: BP.BP2160

Printed product.

The well-loved Christina Rossetti poem and Gustav Holst tune come to life in this stunning arrangement which rises and falls in complexity from the beginning solo soprano voice to its return at the end. It is hauntingly beautiful. Scored for SATB voices, solo, piano, optional string quartet and percussion and optional orchestra.

ISBN 9781491164921. UPC: 680160923830. Key: D major.

This graceful arrangement elegantly weaves together four classic winter melodies: Waltz of the Snowflakes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Skater's Waltz by Émile Waldteufel, In the Bleak Midwinter by Gustav Holst, and Winter from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Scored in 3/4 time with a consistent tempo throughout, the piece allows every section of the orchestra to shine with melodic material. The softly joyful key of D major with optional harp (playable by piano) and glockenspiel will add a moment of classical lightness to any winter or holiday concert.
