About "Holst: 3 Hymns for the English Hymnal: No. 1, In the Bleak Mid-Winter (Choral Arr. Jennings & Woodgate)" by Chanticleer
Holst's setting of Rossetti turns winter into theology: frost, snow, and a stable too cold for a savior. Chanticleer's Jennings-Woodgate arrangement lets the melody rise like breath in freezing air, the harmonic chill never quite thawing — tenderness suspended in bleakness, beauty inseparable from austerity.
