Review:
Twenty-one handbells ranging from B4 to D7 ring on the last stanza of this arrangement of Felix Mendelssohn's beloved Christmas carol. Several performance options and suggestions are listed at the beginning of the director's score allowing this to fit a number of scenarios. The various instruments and vocal ensemble and their combinations also allows for freedom in planning. A great beginning to Christmas worship or concert. Brass ensemble consists of 2 trumpets, 2 trombones (Substitute French horn for trombone I).
