Review:
This joyful arrangement combines the title carol with strains of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day", resulting in an appealing holiday offering. It is written in the key of C, with a few accidentals and minimal rhythmic complexities; dotted quarters and eighths being the most significant. Handbell techniques include tower swings and echoes. This piece is available in two settings, MFLSB436 (Chime-In Series) for 3 octaves, or MFLHB607 for 3 to 5 octaves.
