Review:
This well-known Christmas melody is set for 3 to 6 octaves of handbells and optional string orchestra. The bell part stands on its own with a lilting 6/8 rhythm. The middle section employs the hymn "What Child is This" to answer the question, why the joy? Perfect for a Christmas concert or worship. Bring bells and strings together with this great setting of "In Dulci Jubilo". 134 measures. Keys of Eb Major, c minor, and C Major.
