Review:      Based on the BESANCON carol and set for SATB voices, keyboard and optional three-octave handbells in 6/8 time this Christmas anthem begins: Shepherds, shake off your drowsy sleep. Rise, and leave your grazing sheep. Angels from heav'n around are singing, tidings of great joy are bringing. The bells ring periodically and always in easy rhythms.
