Review:
Performance notes are given for use of the optional 3 to 5-octaves of handchimes in this arrangement of the Christmas spiritual. Full chordal ringing, malleted passages, flowing LV sections and powerful fortissimo passages make up the texture of this work. Though it ends full on a forte dynamic, the last chord is contributed by the optional handchimes at a mp marking.
