Review:
Mallets, martellato, and shakes all bring new life to this traditional Christmas melody. The optional handchimes provide a welcome change of timbre after the more percussive opening section. Easy to learn and full of contrast for listeners, this piece is well-suited to both holiday concerts and Christmas services. 98 measures. Key of c minor.
