Review:      Optional tambourine and hand drum add to the festive appeal of this uptempo setting of the time-honored Christmas carol. Mallets on tabled bells are scored extensively throughout the work. Full textures keep all ringers busy. The forceful "half note = 75" tempo is the primary challenge in this 112 measure piece. It is scored in c minor.
