Review:
"Good King Wenceslas" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" are combined in festive manner for novice handbell ringers. The melodies occur in the lower and upper bells, giving everyone a chance at the tune. For the most part chordal texture is scored with some martellatos and shakes added for effect. Measures total 69.
