In the Bleak Midwinter

Christmas performances can be so unique when you include this piece! In the Bleak Midwinter is a reflective and modern arrangement for the intermediate pianist. In C# minor, this often icy piece has a special warmth offered by the left hand arpeggiated accompaniment and later, the left hand melody. Perfect for winter performances, even after the holidays.

Teachers, this arrangement is a fabulous opportunity to share with your students a choral version of In the Bleak Midwinter and talk about voicing similarly for piano. I also love to address tone and color with this piece to get students really crafting a thoughtful performance.
