Review:
Cynthia Dobrinski's new arrangement of this classic Christmas spiritual is sure to be a hit with both church and concert audiences. For the upbeat version, play it as written. For a jazzy alternative, add the optional clarinet and swing the rhythm on the last verse. This piece has few bell changes but a lot a variety of techniques including mallet rolls, TD, Pl, Pl lift, RT, SW, Vib, BD, and SK, plus two tunes playing at once. For a lively, fun-filled piece this one should not be missed! Arranged in C Major and Eb Major, measures total 79.
