Review:
This medley of five beloved carols is playable by handbells and handchimes alone, or as a congregational or audience sing-along. Optional parts are available for SATB chorus, brass quintet, timpani, and organ, making this piece an exciting addition to either Christmas worship or concert. Carols included are "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" (MENDELSSON), "O, Little Town of Bethlehem" (ST. LOUIS), "Angels We have Heard on High" (GLORIA), "Silent Night" (STILLE NACHT), and "Joy to the World" (ANTIOCH). LV and shaking are the only special techniques required, and options are given for flexibility in length as may be needed.
