Sample played by Burning River Brass

10066 – In the Bleak Midwinter

Gustav Holst

Arranged by Roger Harvey for Solo Soprano and Brass Tentet

Difficulty: Easy

Price: £20

Programme note:
This arrangement of Holst's famous hymn was made to feature a boy treble with chamber orchestra. This re-arrangement is for soprano or trumpet solo and brass.

 

Performance note:
Play expressively but dolce throughout.
The accompaniment in verse 2 should be light and slightly detached but the line should be evident through the voices.
A solo trumpet can substitute for the solo voice if not available.
