Review:
Patricia has arranged this Gospel-style Christmas song for handbells. It is written in 12/8 and swings along in a triplet feel throughout. Addition of marts and LVs along with counter-melodies and the engaging, flowing melody make this a delightful piece for your Christmas performance in worship or concert. The lyrics, available online, celebrate Jesus’ birth. This is definitely a ‘keeper!’ Key of F Major. 40 measures.
