Review:
Arranger Andrea Gilbert Rivard has taken a traditional French carol and arranged it in two formats: 3-octaves of bells (no optional bells) and 4 to 5-octaves of bells. The beginning is marked "chant-like" and then moves to an introduction of the carol at a steady tempo. "LV"ed, alternating accompaniment in the upper register is used to soften the texture for the lower bell melody. The last section is slower still and uses a chordal texture. Measures total 73.
