Review:
Nick Hanson joins Alfred Handbell with his slinky setting of "Santa Baby". A perfect selection for any holiday concert, this arrangement is in an easy range to add a vocalist if desired, but stands alone as an instrumental number very well. It will be a highlight of your Christmas concert season! Santa Baby is rated Level 4 for its chromatics and bell/chime changes, but is very attainable for most ensembles. The chime part is marked as optional, but using the handchimes makes the melody stand out. 71 measures in the key of F Major.
