Review:
This well-loved Christmas carol is set in a straightforward, yet compelling manner, featuring flowing lines and many opportunities for lyricism. The melody is highlighted when it is picked up by the optional handchime part which may alternately be played by a soloist, small ensemble, or solo instrument. Parts for C and Bb instruments are included. 60 measures. Key of D Major.
