In The Bleak Midwinter - Edward-Rhys Harry |
| ||||||||||||
Originally written for the choir at Queen Mary's College, this piece takes the familiar words of Christina Rossetti and translates them into a semi dramatico setting, exploring the atmosphere and images projected from the text. The main intent was to explore the relationship between the music and the words. In ABA form, the piece moves from one minor key to another before returning to its original state.
If you can't see the score in the panel below, you can get the Sibelius Scorch plug-in here. Created using Sibelius. Remember that the quality of the midi playback is necessarily limited, and that the score here appears more jagged than the printed version.
