IN THE BLEAK MID-WINTER by Holst is a perfect opportunity for them to truly realize the value of these things you've been teaching. Your musicians will come away from the experience of preparing this piece with a better understanding of how to shape a melodic phrase and play with warm, reserved elegance.Captivating!
