Bob Chilcott

Mid-winter

Bring the magic of the festive season and winter poetry to your concert program: Bob Chilcott’s sensitive and touching setting of Christina Rossetti's famous text is one of the most cherished contemporary choral works for Advent and Christmas. This edition from Oxford University Press provides the instrumental parts for flute and harp, lending the composition its distinctive, soaring, and warm sonic character. The harmonious interplay between delicate flute melodies and shimmering harp accompaniment perfectly frames both the mixed choir (SATB) and the two-part choir versions. A wonderful addition to choral concerts, church services, and atmospheric winter celebrations.
