Review:
An eight-measure introduction to this setting of the popular carol, invokes a middle-eastern feel - from atop a camel! All sorts of techniques, from thumb damps and plucks to echo, adorn the score, further enhancing the mood. The melody appears in upper and lower bell registers. The music builds to a fortissimo ending in measure 96.
