Review:
If the Blues Brothers were to write a Christmas anthem, it might sound something like this anthem accompanied by piano, handbells, electric guitar, bass, and drums. The text begins: "Christmas is coming let the church bells ring!" And they do - 3-4 octaves of bells in the upper treble range add additional accompaniment. The middle section incorporates a traditional styling of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" before returning to the opening music. FUN! UNIQUE! 98 measures.
