Review:
Control of dynamics and precision in ringing and damping are keys to a successful performance of this energetic arrangement of the traditional French Christmas carol. Excitement is generated by a driving underlying pulse. The main challenge in this piece are the many accidentals. A total of 55 measures, this score is set in primarily in G Major, with a small final section in F Major. Performance notes and an arranger bio are included.
