In The Bleak Midwinter, arr Andrew Wainwright, Euphonium Solo & Brass Band

Originally written for the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, Wainwright’s setting has been beautifully adapted for euphonium solo and brass band. Featuring ethereal textures, shimmering harmonies, and a gently contemplative tone, this arrangement brings new life to Gustav Holst’s classic setting of Christina Rossetti’s In the Bleak Midwinter.

Ideal for Christmas performances or sacred concerts, this piece showcases the euphonium’s lyrical expressiveness while painting a vivid musical portrait of snowy landscapes and the quiet awe of the nativity.
