Review:
John Ness Beck's setting of this carol is here transcribed for bells by Arnold Sherman. It opens with mallets on suspended bells for that shimmery, crisp winter air effect then moves onto a stronger texture full of rich harmonies, expressive tempos, and dynamics, which if done correctly, will add much to the music's ability to communicate to the listener. 65 measures.
