Review:
A bright and, of course, festive choice from a master handbell composer! Kevin McChesney's original composition is challenging, engaging, and sophisticated, making it a great choice for advanced choirs and bronze-level festivals. Shifting tonal centers are punctuated by marts and staccatos, with meter shifts thrown in to keep things interesting.
