Review:
These two easy handbell or handchime arrangements include the tunes ADESTE FIDELES (known as "O Come All Ye Faithful") and THE FIRST NOWELL. "O Come All Ye Faithful" (in C Major) is straightforward and includes swings, thumb damps, and shakes. "The First Nowell" (in G Major) has been simplified so that there are no eighth notes. Both Christmas carols will work well for a level 1 beginning choir.
