Sung in unison, two, three, and eventually four-part round, this beautiful melody was penned by sixteenth century master of polyphony Thomas Tallis. An excellent teaching piece, the lyrical tune (set with an original winter text) sits so well in the voice. As a special touch, phrases from 'In the Bleak Midwinter are artfully woven throughout. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

The wind is cold, the branches bare, but hearts are warm and bright. Despite the chill of December, it'' all about hope, peace, and kindling kindness. As you'd expect from a round, a simple melody easily stacks into a complete choral texture. Even better, the conservative-range tune ensures a good fit for all voices. Groups of any age will master the canonic form and enjoy delivering the heartfelt, non-holiday message.
