This rollicking quartet is adapted from the larger 3-5 octave version by the same name. It includes some 4-in-hand for the two upper ringers, malleting by all, and a section featuring a handchime solo by the third ringer. This fun to ring 81-measure arrangement is a sure crowd pleaser for holiday concerts. It is set in c minor.
