Review:
The unrestrained joy and resplendent pageantry of the Christmas message are dramatically captured in a brilliant offering for the worship space or the concert stage. The handbell and keyboard parts present no major technical impediments as they seamlessly weave in and out of four familiar carols. The thrilling Brant Adams orchestration helps to heighten the effect with either your instrumentalists or by use of the available Accompaniment CD. Titles include, "Go, Tell It on the Mountain, Angels We Have Heard on High, Ding Dong Merrily on High, and Angels From the Realms of Glory." Instrument parts include 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 F Horns, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, 2 violins, viola, cello, and bass. Set in Bb Major, measures total 85.
