Review:
9 optional handchimes (ranging from G4 - C6), and mallets on suspended bells rung randomly both contribute a "shimmering" sound to this setting of carol tunes FOREST GREEN and STILL, STILL, STILL. The random ring is layered with a quasi-ostinato eighth-note line with the tune "sandwiched" in-between in the opening section. Later strong chords support the melody before a final, ethereal section ends the work in measure 68.
