Review:
For SATB voices and organ with optional handbells, brass, timpani and congregation, this stunning hymn concertato is brilliantly conceived from beginning to end and an excellent choice for Christmas morning. It can be performed with just choir and organ, but the addition of the optional enhancements is sure to make this an incredibly exciting experience for all. The fully developed part for 3-5 octave handbells greatly enhances this joyous celebration. 115 measures in length, it is scored in D Major and G Major.
