In the Bleak Midwinter

from justinreeve · host justinreeve

"In the Bleak Midwinter" is based on a poem by Christina Rossetti, written around 1872. The evocative lyrics paint a picture of the Nativity in a snowy Northern landscape. The text of this Christmas poem has been set to music many times, the most famous settings being composed by Gustav Holst and Harold Edwin Darke in the early 20th century. The carol is beloved by millions, and in 2008, Darke's version of the song was voted the "Best Christmas Carol" by the world's leading choirmasters and choral experts. https://music.justinreeve.com/in-the-bleak-midwinter/
