BrookWright Music: In the Bleak Midwinter (Holst arr. Mack Wilberg trans. Barrie Gott)
If you are looking for a classy concert addition to your festive music making this year then BrookWright Music has provided a superb transcription for brass band by Barrie Gott of Mack Wilberg's stunning setting of the much-loved carol 'In the Bleak Midwinter'.
It was famously performed by the renowned King's Singers and The Choir of King's College, Cambridge at Carols from Kings in 2020.
Setting
This is a reflective and beautiful arrangement of the classic Gustav Holst Christmas carol and remains faithful to the Wilberg choral setting. The arrangement underpins the well-loved melody with luscious, romantic harmonies, including moments of exquisite chromaticism.
