Review:
The ethereal sound of singing bells opens this 3-5 octave arrangement which combines two haunting Christmas melodies, the Appalachian folk tune "I Wonder as I Wander" and "Coventry Carol." These two carols are artistically woven together to create a beautiful, contemplative composition, making this a poignant addition to any Christmas service or program. It is 94 measures in length and scored in f minor and g minor.
