Review:
This quintessential anthem for Christmas Sunday is big, festive, and joyous. It offers a chance to involve choir, congregation, piano, organ, brass, and handbells with inspiring lyrics sung to a familiar hymn tune. Fitted to the tune Lasst Uns Erfreuen, the lyrics begin: "Hear how the bells of Christmas play! Well may they ring for joy and say Alleluia!"
