    Default In The Bleak Midwinter (Holst), mandolin quartet

    Gustav Holst: In The Bleak Midwinter
    Arranged for instrumental quartet by Albert Folop

    From IMSLP:
    http://imslp.org/wiki/In_the_Bleak_M...lst,_Gustav%29

    This arrangement of Holst's Christmas carol was originally for four viols, but I've adapted it for mandolin quartet (two mandolins, tenor guitar, mandocello).

    1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
    1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
    Ozark tenor guitar
    Suzuki MC-815 mandocello

    Used to play this one in my bluegrass band, which featured a classically-trained fiddler. Started slow, then picked up the tempo.

    This is one of two classical tunes we play frequently at our jam. The other being Going Home, by Antonin Dvorak. Both have a similar feeling. Great stuff.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.
