In the Bleak Midwinter

Matthew Culloton always brings a unique touch to the carols in this series, but this one will melt you down. Beautiful textural and harmonic touches, sometimes very simple and sometimes more complex, illumine and elevate the text. For example, the descant functions as a lone voice just as the text becomes the most personal, "What can I give him?" The thought, beauty, and emotion in this setting are not to be missed.
