Silent Night
Using only legato ringing on handbells or handchimes, this flowing setting of “Silent Night, Holy Night” portrays the profound awe of Christ’s birth. Set in the key of Bb, it can be used to introduce or accompany congregational singing. The parts for optional C or Bb instruments and suggested bell assignment for 8, 9, 10, or 11 ringers make this gorgeous setting extremely flexible even if your choir is short-handed on Christmas Eve. Instrument part included. 32 measures.
