Alternative Tunes...

Well, there you go, for my good friend and wise priest Perpetua, 'In the Bleak Midwinter' the Darke tune is the 'usual one'.  So, for her and anyone else who doesn't know it, here is what I thought was the more familiar Holst setting.  Hope you enjoy it.

 

PS Around 11 or 12 years ago, on Songs of Praise this carol was sung with alternate verses in each setting - amazingly it worked and sounded fantastic!

  • Thanks, Catriona. Holst wrote the tune, but it's the Darke setting of that tune which I know best.
