The score also includes the following instructions: "As you sing this piece keep the rhythms crisp - they really define the text and help it come to life. Pay special attention to the hemiolas found in mm. 19 and 21, and keep them distinct from the other rhythmic figures employed. | Work to minimize the second "r" in "rivers" and move quickly through the consonant cluster "pr" on the word "prettier" so that word has a joyful energy to it and doesn't ever sound tired. Enjoy the playful back-and-forth sequences of "prettier far" between the sections. Soprano I's at m. 49, keep your part light, just complementing the melody without being overbearing. The piece should bring a playful and energetic touch to your concert program".

"In the Bleak Midwinter" [Nathan Jones]
title: First line of lyrics: In the bleak midwinter
subject: genre: choral music|song|Christmas music|sacred music
subject: chorus: SATB chorus
subject: instrumentation: a cappella|piano (for rehearsal only)
subject: initial sharps/flats: three flats
subject: initial time signature: 4/4
subject: origin: United States
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "A Christmas Carol" ("In the bleak mid-winter")
description: Notes about the text: This song is a setting of stanzas 1, 4, and 5 only. In the lyrics, the words "but only his mother" are changed to "his mother only" in line 15 of the Rossetti poem.
description: Composition history: On the last page of the score, the composer writes: "Gustav Holst's setting of Christina Rosetti's poem "In the bleak midwinter" is without question my favourite Christmas carol. I find the images that Rossetti paints to be beautiful and Holst's music seems like snow and ice translated into notes on the page. The melody I created in this new setting of the familiar text is simple but haunting, and is supported by warm, rich harmony in the lower voices. Occasional but colorful dissonances (indicated by tenuto marks) draw the singer and listener's ear to poignant moments in the text."
description: Tempo markings: quarter note = 66-72
description: Performance instructions: "Sweetly." "The conductor should strive to produce unique vocal colors in each verse, as is appropriate to the meaning of the text. Performers should also take note of the punctuation when considering breathing and phrasing; a sensitive use of rubato is appropriate."
description: Performance history: "the D.C.-based ensemble the Thirteen ... performed the first of three iterations of its holiday program at the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria" to sing "35-year-old Nathan Jones's version of 'In the Bleak Midwinter.'" (Midgette, 1-2). The concert was titled "Another match lighted" and took place at 7:30 pm on 14 December 2018 (“The Thirteen Choir: ‘Another Match Lighted’ - Friday, Dec 14. 2018 / 7:30pm.”).

description: Tempo markings: "Legato"; "Rubato"; quarter note = 92-96
description: Performance instructions: For "SSA, accompanied, with optional instrument in C"; "Expressively". In the score's "Performance Notes" section, it states: "Sing with a beautiful, full tone quality. Work for purity of vowel sounds. Once in a while, at chosen places, a little breath in the tone would be appreciated. When you sing the word "wind" pucker a bit and raise your eyebrows as you ask the question. Sing "trembling" with a sense of mystery and wonder. At measure 35, the sopranos sing the "oo" lightly with a touch of breath in the tone. Remember: This is not a gale you are singing about, rather a gentle breeze that leaves the leaves trembling. At the end, let your tone die away. Then stand still until your director release you. Look for beauty in simplicity. You just might find an aesthetic experience there."
