Paul G Young

In the Bleak Midwinter Paul G Young

Scroll below for a video of the score as played in Finale. This arrangement requires the Grade 3 technical skills, range, and maturity of high school or college-level performers and an accomplished pianist. After a short piano introduction, the quick melodic theme is introduced by the soloist in Concert Key of F Major in common time. There is a modulation into G Major. The range is not extreme, rhythmic demands are minimal, and the tune, which is well known, makes this an easy piece to put together and a popular choice for performances in many types of church services during the Christmas season or the weeks right after. This volume contains a piano score accompanying a C Instrument in Bass Clef. There are individual instrumental parts for * C Instrument in Treble Clef (Flute, Oboe, Violin - in 2 octaves); * Bb Instrument in Treble Clef (Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet); * Eb Instrument in Treble Clef (Alto Clarinet, Alto Saxophone); * F Instrument in Treble Clef (Horn in F - in 2 octaves); C Instrument in Bass Clef (Bassoon, Trombone, Euphonium, Cello); * Low C Instrument in Bass Clef (String Bass, Tuba), * and a part in alto clef for Viola. This is a beautiful piece to prepare and perform, especially as you work to develop the beautiful harmonic exchanges between the piano and the instrumental soloist. Audiences will love it!
