Review:      Arranger Matthew Prins writes "outside the box" in this mystical setting of three Advent hymns. Suspended bells are played by striking them with the mallet and the mallet "shaft." Malleting on suspended bells makes up the bulk of this piece with occasional martellato lifts. The three pieces included in this medley are :"The Word Descending from Above, O Come O Come Emmanuel, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen." This score is 59 measures and is set in c minor.
