Winter Carol

By Sherri Porterfield

Item Number: AP.5767

English. Christina Rossetti.

A beautiful setting of the famous In the Bleak Midwinter text by ChristineRossetti. Sherri Porterfield writes in a direct style with no vocal suprises for your singers. The vocal lines are melodic with no large skips, thus simplifying note-learning. Captures the imagery of a bleak midwinter night. An optional C-instrument (we prefer oboe) adds a haunting, plaintive texture to the simple, pianistic accompaniment.
