Stille Nacht
An exposed opening is punctuated by upper bells mimicking the chiming of a clock tower in James Weber's expressive arrangement of this Christmas mainstay. Flowing accompaniments and lush, unexpected harmonies abound. The work builds in strength and dynamic throughout before dying away to a gentle conclusion. This is a fantastic addition to both the handbell literature and any Christmas service or concert. 76 measures. Key of Db Major.
