SKU: A0.815331
Composed by Harold Darke. Arranged by Mark A. Craig/Craig Music Publishers (ASCAP). This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Christmas, Holiday, Multicultural, Sacred, World. 16 pages. Craig Music Publishers #6012587. Published by Craig Music Publishers (A0.815331).This intermediate woodwind quintet digital download arrangement of Harold Darke & Christina Rossetti's beautiful setting of the holiday classic "In the Bleak Midwinter" is perfect for any holiday celebration, event, recital, church service, or caroling gig. This charming setting of a British Evensong staple was written for most ensembles, from advanced high groups to professional quintets. I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. NOTE: This is not the Gustav Holst setting. Originally a British choral holiday standard, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds, which will bring a touch of Europe to your holiday celebrations.
If you like this arrangement, you might also like my woodwind quintet arrangement of Ennio Morricone's beautiful piece "Gabriel's Oboe" from the movie The Mission. With its lush melodies and gorgeous oboe solo, it is sure to become one of your holiday favorites. It's available on:
