Once in Royal David's City

Review:      Two octaves of optional chimes add extra charm to this medley of the title tune "Once in Royal David's City" and "Love Came Down at Christmas". Random ring appear periodically throughout the gentle piece and lend a touch of mystery. The contrasting hymn picks up the harmonic movement a bit before returning to the opening feel. 75 measures in length.
