Review:
Andre Thomas' popular choral work for Christmas is the source for this delightful handbell arrangement. An energetic malleted bass pattern drives the piece through the first and final sections, enhanced by congas and shaker. The treble bells assume the role of the choir throughout. An optional part for soprano vocalist is also provided, making this arrangement truly festive. This rendition is set in C Major and is 88 measures.
