Review:
An entertaining, audience pleasing quartet arrangement of the 1950’s hit tune, this piece is definitely for accomplished ensemble ringers. Two versions of the quartet are provided in the packet. The first version reflects Quadrille’s continually changing bell assignments with color coded note heads to indicate individual ringers. The second, black and white, version is unassigned so that a quartet or quintet can work out their own assignments. This piece would surely add a touch of delight to any concert. Please note that despite the title, there is no reference to Christmas in the music.
