Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Review:      This is a lively rendition of this traditional Christmas carol. There is a lot of movement within the parts and a nice play back and forth between the chimes and bells. For a concert setting, you could use the title “Good King Wenceslas.” Arranged in F Major, this festive piece is 80 measures.
