In The Bleak Midwinter

Tasteful arrangement of a great winter tune. Easy to play, easy to listen to.

I am not a very proficient pianist, so I was thrilled to come across this arrangement, which sounds so beautiful despite being relatively easy to play. I'm looking forward to David's future arrangements.

It was a perfect piece for our church’s Christmas Eve service. Very nice arrangement for intermediate-advance pianists.

This is a really beautiful arrangement. It's perfect for the Advent and Christmas season.

Fantastic piece of music. Very touching and beautifully arranged.

This arrangement exemplifies the mood and message of this beautiful Christmas song. It has a clear beginning, middle, and end which keeps the listener engaged and allows for dynamics and expression. For my level (advanced/intermediate), it had a couple of lines that needed more practice and refinement, but I could easily sight read it from the start. I will be performing it at my church service in December.

In the Bleak Midwinter is my favourite carol and I have long been looking for an arrangement that is satisfying from a pianistic perspective. Although this arrangement is simple enough to make a creditable addition to any teaching repertoire, it is just lovely for more advanced musicians to play and relax with. While playing, you hear and appreciate subtle decisions that David has made in compiling the arrangement. The added motifs are beautiful - they complement rather than detract from the main melody. The voicing is exquisite, and the 'feel' in the hand is very natural. I have found playing this over Christmas to be a nostalgic, reflective experience that took me well beyond enjoyment of the carol to consideration of Christmases past, precious memories and to a state of mindfulness that has prompted me to assess what I really want for the coming year. This arrangement indicates real talent - a sympathy for the integrity of the old and a vision for the new. I highly recommend.

Subtle and beautiful. Requires careful voicing, but fits the hand perfectly.

This is an interesting and moving arrangement. I'm really looking forward to learning this piece !

I was searching for pieces for my students when I ran across this piece. It is absolutely beautiful - sounds just like Christmas. ❤️

This is a beautiful arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter. After hearing David's recording on YouTube, I was happy to find that the sheet music is available.

I have a huge collection of uniquely arranged Christmas Carols. I love this arrangement of In The Bleak Midwinter, it is one of my top favs!

The piece, In The Bleak Midwinter, is a fun piece to play. The simple elegance and patterned repetition stood out to me. I played it at church during the Christmas season and people enjoyed it very much.

I must say, this transcription for solo piano is flawless. Thank you!

This was a truly lovely arrangement — a joy to play.

Looking for piano songs to play at our Lessons & Carols service. Want to play "In the Bleak Winter" & this version left me teary-eyed! Plan to order the book which has this song & several others. I will need much practice to play these well; but I'm determined! THANKS for such lovely arrangements!
