Review:
Joel Raney draws from his jazz roots for a new rendition of this classic Christmas song for 3-5 octaves handbells with optional 3-5 octave handchimes and percussion. The addition of the synth and percussion instruments (triangle, wind chimes, conga or hand drum) further enhance the jazzy flavor and overall effect, ensuring this to be a highlight of your Christmas concert. This rendition is 69 measures and is scored in F Major and Ab Major.
