Review:
Janet Linker and Jane McFadden beautifully combine “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming,” and “Angels We Have Heard on High” into one glorious medley for handbells and keyboard. The optional trumpet adds a sense of pageantry, and liberal use of special handbell techniques and handchimes weave a complex aural tapestry suitable for any Christmastime worship service. Scored in F Major and G Major, this medley is 100 measures.
