In The Bleak Midwinter film
loosely based on Gustav Holst’s version of this lovely carol, here is my new arrangement
the words to In the Bleak Midwinter are a poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti – in 1906 Gustav Holst composed a setting of Rossetti’s words in The English Hymnal which is now sung as a carol throughout the world
performed here fingerstyle on my Doug Berch mountain dulcimer in Ionian tuning EBB (DAA but in key of E) – using a shimmer delay on my Boss DD-500 delay FX unit, mixed with audio from two mics
