Review:
This arranger is well-known for combining classic literature with hymns or carols or contemporary music. In this lovely carol setting she employs the music of Serge Prokofiev's "Troika" from
Lieutenant Kije Suite. There are two performance options: bells and keyboard or bells and orchestra. A concert-length work with 121 measures with the addition of optional repeats. Fully scored and upbeat, the arranger notates several special techniques and solid bell writing.
The orchestra parts are available for purchase directly from Linda on her
website.
