Review:
Combine shepherds on a hillside with an English bell tower and you'll have a good idea of this carol setting! A good step-up piece from Level one repertoire, the main challenges in this piece are the bell changes (mostly D#s) and the tempo (quarter = 126-138). Care should be taken to observe the dynamics, as they play an important role in this work. Performance notes should help to clear up any problems. 76 measures scored in e minor.
