In The Bleak Midwinter - performed by Corrinne May

[aponigoching]

great song and version. we are currently practicing this for an anthem in our church. may God bless you and keep corrine.

[nakamichi680zx]

Just a stunning take on this song. Your voice is truly amazing. You can thank Pandora for introducing you to me ("Angels We Have Heard on High"). You are an instant favorite singer for me! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Corrinne!

[Blythespirituk]

Oooo this gave me the chills, hairs standing on end. THE best version of this song Ive found and the fact it was in a cafe and not a big auditorium in a way makes it even more special.

[GeraldSouthCarolna]

An amazing talent and such a beautiful touching song. I want to learn more about this artist.

[Witless544]

Exquisite.....

[hhbluesfan]

Just exquisite.

[MDSYP]

We're doing this song in church next week but had never heard it before. After listening to you sing it, I now love the song. Your singing is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your gift of singing.

[PrincessShiba85]

You have a wonderful voice!!! Really love it!! *___*

[iamdavidmorris]

This is music.  It's what music is supposed to be. It's not just notes and rhythm, but language that conveys what can never be explained. Corrinne May gets it.

[chromaticsummer]

Corrinne's voice is like velvet.

[bilacola]

She made me proud to be a Singaporean :)

[calliegal235]

Your rendition of this is wonderful! One of my favorites. I will need to check out your other vocals! Thank you!

[taipeicrazy]

Beautiful voice!

[MariusOberholster]

Wow, you have really be blessed with a phenomenal talent! Keep singing!

[utubuser10]

i cry each time i listen to this and i wonder why...i realize that there is nothing that i have to give. forgive me for i have sinned....

[luzyanglin]

Love, love this song... and love Corrinne too, she's an absolutely amazing songwriter and singer!

[blauauge2]

beautiful voice. so warm and peaceful.

[bilacola]

Love it once. Love it again

[beyondbookworm]

4 people are obviously deaf. and I'm guessing they're scrooges.

[holdchipformy2cents]

Merry Christmas!  Love You, Corrine, C. G. Rosetti's poem and this, the BEST rendition of this great song given by a female singer. The Paul Coleman Trio version is another favorite.

Yuletide Praise

[jeanbilliejean]

u r great!!

[IngelaBerger]

I love this carol and you do it soo well! Thank you!

[tpjgjr]

AWESOME! I love this tune and this may be one of the best versions I have ever heard!

[hrhqueene]

I have heard many, many versions of this lovely song, but yours is the only one that ever brought me to tears. Thanks with all my heart.

[britman20]

My favorite Christmas song this year... Beautiful performance.

Thank you, Corinne.

[WaKaSaWaKaSaa]

if it´s not sung in a choir... somethings always missin...

[LadieLola]

this is whats known as pure magic. This made me cry. thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us. Merry Christmas.

[jimmymacproductions]

absolutely breathtaking!!! not only do you have a fabulous voice but the emotion you captured on this song is world class! i could listen to this song all day long. thank you corrinne for sharing this with us.

[linnyf123]

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I appreciated your style of accompaniament

and your beautiful voice. It was heart felt :-)

[razzorfish1]

Gloucester Cathedral Choir with the congregation singing In the Bleak Midwinter, is so touching for it's heartfelt rendition. This solo effort by Corrinne May is just as good,just as moving.

Thank you so much for sharing your excellent version with us.

[zillinalovedance]

this is beatiful, thanks for sharing.

[beatsax]

Not flawless, but magic.

[emilyelbertmusic]

gorgeous.

[JewelSong23]

What a beautiful rendition of this old song. Just lovely.

[marybat01]

i have to say you have an amazing voice corrine may.

and i love how you sing in the bleakmid winter its a really good version.

you really made it your own.

[aupra88]

i wonder.. why there's still 4 people dislike this beautiful song.. maybe they just push the wrong button.. lol

[finnspurre]

I always thought nothing would surpass the choir of King's College in Cambridge doing "In the Bleak Midwinter". But like Jesus was born in a stable and not in a cathedral, it was deeply moving hearing this wonderful carol transferred to a simple coffee parlor. Your intense and fervent interpretation really brings out the message behind the words. Thank you - and Merry Christmas to you too!

[sharonsaw]

beautiful... thank you for this wonderful rendition of my favourite Christmas song... much love and peace to all...

[katey03]

Your an amazing singer, you gave this song a new touch of life. This is my favorite christmas song to sing. The acoustics were great in this vid, sounds pretty much like recording studio quality.

[curaciao]

her voice is so soothing,

if i will have a child one day

this is the first song that i'll play to him/her

[KristenK1970]

I have chills. Love it. Love you. God has gifted you with such talent.

[SapphireBrook]

Captivating.

[Racheltaylordiva]

I've not heard this performed better - thank you

[stuartbmc]

Now thats what I call a coffee shop!

[tunesofjazz]

@stuartbmc You're right,Stuart! I would spend all my time in there, as long as she sings and plays along... Be glad to have such coffeeshops in US, here in Germany tihs would be impossible!!!

[stuartbmc]

@tunesofjazz unfortunately I can only enjoy this kind of thing from the comforts of my own home because as you say, like Germany, this would be impossible in the UK also!

[ManOnTheMoon2]

@stuartbmc Yeh, the looney lefty liberasl would shut it down, health and safety and can't sing christian songs it might offend people from other faiths. People who died in world wars for freedom and in the end we all become prisoners of the state

[stuffandnonsense2003]

Wow! Amazing!!! I was asked to sing this, and I will let your version inspire me!

[invinciblec1]

i sang this song in school and never forgot it .i loved your version piano and a beautiful voice ,a gift from god thanks for sharing.

[jveleke]

Beautiful!! My children are memorizing this poem by Christina Rossetti and this is the most beautiful rendition of it yet. Thank you!

[dsbassoon]

Beautiful!

[Petsch7]

A very moving and beautiful performance. Thank you for uploading this song.

[GinnyGryff]

This has inspired me, a beginning guitar player, to learn to play this on my guitar

[Hermelinos]

Hallo Corinne,

...this is the best version I know

Best wishes from Berlin - hermelinos - guitarplayer

[palmbebe86]

[southernguy2895]

[Clare0092]

It's a pity I didn't find out about Corrinne earlier before she held her concerts in Singapore. If she ever comes back here to hold a concert, I'll never miss it for she has inspired me and made a difference in my life. :)

[ramlife4u]

i love her songs!!!!!!!!

[lollipopdays]

Corrinne, you are truly talented and thank you for availing yourself through your music to touch the lives of many....can you hold a concert in Singapore soon?

[4thThe5th]

Amazing...beautiful...I have never heard this sung as well!!! I'm looking forward to hearing your other music!!!

[FrJcsc]

lovely, just lovely !!

[AmandaCaines]

I never thought about the real meaning of christmas until I heard this - a truly wonderful rendition, Gustav Holst who wrote the tune would be very pleaed...........

[chucke4u]

Corrinne you made a beautiful carol much more beautiful/ You have a voice of an angel/ God bless you

[parsonrobert]

Beautiful Corinne! God has blessed you with such skill and talent. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us!

God bless,

ParsonRob

[emarsh08]

Very nicely done.....

[djj6024]

Sounds like Sarah sarah mclachlan

[parsonrobert]

@djj6024 She sounds better!

[piechucker31]

Oh my. Healing tears for me.

[mejustmeyep]

Outstanding vocals and keyboard. What a lovely song. Thank you for sharing the real meaning of Christmas with us!

[lisainhk]

What a beautiful voice!

[hrhqueene]

Brava! Thank you for making my favorite Christmas song ever, even more so! I am now a fan!

[corkpatrick]

Simply the best version of this gorgeous song we have ever heard. What a talent!

[theNEWmissSophie]

wow .. mh .. *GÄNSEHAUTFEELING*

[badpappy]

Absolutely beautiful. Corrinne is a diamond yet to be discovered! What a great rendition of this song.

[kumho541]

this hymn, and silent night , are what makes my christmas :]

[nimbob247]

Precious rendition of a beautiful contemplative Christmas song; resisted successfully the temptation to overdo.

[spmccauley]

In Infinite Measure:

This young woman is an instrument. Her songs, her words, her music, her voice lift and comfort and heal in infinite measure.

[songoftinuviel]

Beautiful song. One of the best voices I've ever heard. 1:18 is heaven.

[irvzinn]

Spectacular! You have a wonderful gift. This is by far the most beautiful performance of my most favorite carol! Praise God for your wonderful talent.

Grace and Peace in HIS name!

[theNEWmissSophie]

wow ..

dreamful *.*

[1518JoeFil]

Perhaps one of the finest renditions I've seen of one of my favorite Christmas hymns. Just wonderful.

[victories89]

hay^^

[drewmha802]

My absolutely favorite rendition of my favorite holiday carol. The timbre and tone of your beautiful baritone voice is perfect for this song. I listen to it year round, not just the holidays. Thank you.

[Nhlvrnfla]

thank you so much...wonderful!!!!!

[CurtisJohns]

Beautiful, :) x

[jjlimc]

You are simply AMAZING... God gave you one wonderfull gift, and you are using it for His glory... really AMAZING...

[gupkah]

you have one of the most beautiful voices I have EVER heard. Your voice is truly a gift and what's even louder is your beautiful spirit...instantly warms and soothes the soul. Thank you so much

[bigdjindustriez]

Very nice. My uncle J.P. Cormier recorded this last year on his Christmas album, that was the first time I had ever heard it. I'm guessing that the audio on this was recorded directly from the mixer, and not through a camera mic. Sounds great.

[pacsun1993]

i love your voice! its soo pretty!!! my choir did this last year during christmas and it turned out awesome, its just a really good song, you did a great job!

[WoodlandAsh]

Holst wrote the hymn tune for this song, "Cranham" when he lived in the same village as me, Cranham in the UK.

It's strange walking past midwinter cottage and thinking of such a well known piece of music being composed there that would later be used as a carol.

[xovampirelove]

this is now one of my favorite christmas songs ever. is so so beautiful :)

[butterlyheaven22]

How beautiful to see you sing before me as I see all the love in your music, Wishing you the very best in all your work, Love is felt in your beautiful gracefulness, I applaud you, God has blessed you with a sweet voice, Thankyou for sharing all your video's for all to enjoy, Heaven Sent From Joy. 10/10*************************­**************

[MrsJanners]

quite simply the most beautiful performance i have ever heard

[69lindy]

i've never heard of this x'mas song until i heard her sing and i think she's the best as compared to other singers who seemed to overdo and butcher it. luv luv u corrinne...

[brianusamd]

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I have the CD of Dame Kiri te Kanawa. I enjoyed listening to you as much as listening to her. You should pursue a career in singing if you aren't yet. Thanks I am sure I will enjoy listening to this for many more days to come!!!

[Deniisha]

She has about 3 albums out already (:

[daddysgurl17]

really? can i know each of the albums name.

[danielolaf87]

wow... great acoustics, even in a little cafe! I love the piano sound and your voice Corrinne! Sounded as if you played it from a CD - very well-mixed and you performed it so flawlessly <3

[janmeiyi]

will always be my favourite. :)

[sunparticle1111]

I heard a angel's voice^^

[terigower]

you sing this carol so beautifully,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

thank you

mary

[MignonB1]

Thanks for the beautiful share, Mary....

this young lady has a lovely voice! : )

[jay7tee9]

She sings from the heart...leaves me teary-eyed...more power to Corrinne c:

[InnocentMalin]

Brilliant ! :-) No words to describe..

Thanks to andralife for sharing this.

Best wishes.

[chase82]

Beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this little bit of heaven.

[Rosetta98]

she sings it lovely. shes the best!

[Nephelos]

I'm impressed... what a beautiful song it is... and most of all it's beautifully sang... This girl sings perfectly. It would be a charming duet with Máiréad Nesbitt on the violin... Wow... Loved it... really.

[missreggae1luv]

Lovely rendition of a fave song!

[parcelator]

Pure proof there is a GOD in Heaven. You are such a special little precious gift. Not much brings tears to my eyes, but you have, with this beautiful song. Thank you and GOD Bless you always Corrinne.

[browncello]

Absolutely lovely. This is my most favourite English carol, and you performed it brilliantly. Thank you for such a splendid musical offering.

[niwdehot]

Absolutely wonderful and God-gifted.

[luckymonty123]

listen to daisy wardle on u tube if u think thats good!!!!!!!!!

[yueguishu]

words (widely available): Christina Rossettti (1830-1894)

music: Harold Darke (1888-1976)

[gwittera]

beautiful song. crap version.

no gravitas, an example of singing the melody with no regard to what the words mean.

[maggiebabc]

Someone sent this to me today as a Christmas card. This is the "gift" I will most enjoy this Christmas. I was blown away by the purity, beauty, and emotion of this performance. Truly one of the most God-gifted singer songwriters I have ever heard.

[aloha42506]

That is beautiful! amazing, you can sing and accompany yourself at the same time.

[asukaiessencex3]

May I have the piano chords/sheet music to this song please? I love this song and you sing so well. Beautiful voice. Absolutely gorgeous articulation. Thanks for posting this :]

[shrumpiedoodles]

Very beautiful. It's nice to hear this apart from the traditional version, although pure.

[amazinbubz]

this song is beautiful and agree her voice is amazing however the purity of the english choirboys voices far better suits this song

[lefonda]

beautiful song for a beautiful voice...

[HappiBunny1994]

I have to do a much higher version in four days and I just can't do it. I wish I could do this version instead - I could sing that high - in fact, I'll call it low, it's a gorgeous alto voice.

Grr...

[vhudgensfan101]

I sang this song with my school choir for our Christmas Concert but we sounded like howling dogs compared to this. AMAZING!

[Jeanmarie63126]

You brought tears to my eyes. When I hear a beautiful song and a beautiful voice I cry...I cried..

†

[tcquinn1]

This is absolutely beautiful. In addition to her voice, Corrinne is a very talented pianist. The combination makes this a very wonderful rendition of this song -- eloquently describing the real reason that Jesus is the "Reason for the Season."

That point is lost on too many of us ... in these times where money is tight maybe more people will realize this in 2008.

[purpleluver382]

OMG beauutifuul!!!

we are doing this song 4 our winter concert. and this is definatly sooo much prettier.

shes auuhmazing. My new favorite singer (:

[shez]

[monamoursansfin]

[LadyNightshade]

i like the emotional inflections in this version as i have a irish version much the same. i dislike some that are sung as if all is happy or monotone.
