Review:      Join the triumph of the skies with this jubilant setting by Cathy Moklebust based on the classic Christmas hymn. The introduction features an ostinato pattern going back and forth with the melody and the swing technique. The second half of the piece incorporates mallets in the bass, including a fun use of martellatos, keeping the vibrant rhythm going with pure joy happening all around. A 2–3 octave version is also available, which is compatible for massed ringing.
