Review:
At times lilting, at other times rhythmic, this arrangement is imbued with enthusiasm and a sense of humor. The "prickle" and "berry" verses are set in a minor key, providing a wonderful contrast and allowing a welcome return of the major key for the final verse. The reproducible handbell parts are optional but add lots of sparkle. Set in F Major and f minor, this work is 148 measures.
