Review:
Commissioned for a Twelfth Night handbell festival, this bright arrangement of "He Is Born" pulsates with eighth note energy, both sustained and staccato. Along the way some mallets on tabled bells lend a march rhythm to a mart-inflected melody line. This piece is 78 measures and is set in C Major, Ab Major, and G Major.
