Review:
Beginning with a stately announcement of Christ's birth, this medley of carols moves gracefully from tune to tune as it tells the story of the nativity. The carols included are:
"He Is Born, Good King Wenceslas, O Come, Little Children" and
"Good Christian Friends, Rejoice." A range of moods and tempos provides variety. The medley is further enhanced by the use of chimes and various handbell techniques, such as shake, ring touch, and pluck or mallets. Arranged in C Major , G Major, E Major, and F Major, measures total 115.
