description: Rossetti poem(s): "A Christmas Carol" ("In the bleak mid-winter")
description: Composition history: "Commissioned for the Clarksville High School Chamber Choir of Clarksville, Arkansas in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Madrigal Feast, Rebeca Pitts, conductor." "When I was approached by long-time friend Rebeca about a commission for her high school chamber choir that would involve this Rossetti text, the prospect made me very nervous. How could I look at this text and hear anything other than the famous Holst setting we all know and love? Though I'm still uncertain a fresh setting is needed, I certainly enjoyed the opportunity to work with such a great text. I hoped to maintain a carol-like quality while giving myself permission to enhance the drama in the story more than a traditional carol might allow. One example of this can be seen in m. 35 through the key change as things are a bit unsettled before landing on a root-position, major block chord at 'Christ.' Another moment of building dramatic intensity occurs at m. 59, leading into 'heart' in m. 64."
description: Tempo markings: "Rubato"; quarter note = 72-80
description: Performance instructions: "While the overall color of the piece is one of simplistic beauty, choirs should not be afraid to intensify sound and experiment with shifts in vocal color in these more dramatic moments."
