Review:
The basic tune of this arrangement is the Czech carol "Rock-a-bye My Dear Little Boy", but the additional strains of "Joy to the World" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" interspersed throughout create a compositional gem of a piece. Ringers will encounter dotted eighth-sixteenth notes and short sixteenth note scalar patterns. There are only a few accidentals. Some random rings, shakes and optional handchime parts provide color. This piece is offered in two separate choices - MFLHB609 for 3-4 octaves or MFLHB610 for 5 octaves. 59 measures in length, it is scored in C Major and A Major.
