Publisher Desc.  A beautiful setting of the famous "In the Bleak Midwinter" text by ChristineRossetti. Sherri Porterfield writes in a direct style with no vocal suprises for your singers. The vocal lines are melodic with no large skips, thus simplifying note-learning. Captures the imagery of a bleak midwinter night. An optional C-instrument (we prefer oboe) adds a haunting, plaintive texture to the simple, pianistic accompaniment.
