Review:
This version is a solid three octave arrangement with a C instrument included in the key of C with absolutely no accidentals. The handbells provide a flowing, eighth-note accompaniment with extensive use of the LV technique for the melody in the C instrument. The bells alone then take an alternate tune (based on "Cradle Hymn") for "Away in the Manger" and later combine it with the C instrument's original "Mueller" tune by James Murray, making for an exquisite composition! This piece is 50 measures.
