I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Review:      This arrangement is written for two choirs, with the less-advanced group playing the level two part for handchime choir. If two choirs are not available, a keyboard may substitute for the handchime choir. The 65-measure piece begins and ends in C Major with a bell peal gaily quoting “Joy to the World.” The middle section modulates to a new key (Eb Major) with a dance-like arrangement for handbells alone and then moves back to the original key as the handchimes join for the closing section.
