Review:
The music of Leroy Anderson translates perfectly to handbells and this arrangement for the handbell soloist is no exception. This entertaining arrangement is performed entirely with mallets. The accessible piano accompaniment is true to the original orchestral piece and complements the solo. The inclusion of a percussion part for slapstick and siren (included in the packet) add to the fun of the performance. Measures total 150.
