Review:
The joyous spirit of this well-loved Christmas carol is captured in this short transcription. The top two parts use four-in-hand bell assignments to keep the main musical idea moving while the bottom two parts alternate between sustained tones and an echo of the motif. A splashy addition to any Christmas program. This arrangement is set in g minor and is 41 measures with repeats.
