Jingle Bell Rock
This Christmas classic is based on James Pierpont’s original 'Jingle Bells' tune written in 1850; Beal and Boothe wrote the rock 'n' roll arrangement which was later released by Bobby Helms in 1957. It has since been covered by many other performers and is a holiday staple throughout the world.
Hart Morris has wielded his creative musical pen once again, creating a fabulous arrangement for 4 or 5 octaves of handbells. Carefully-placed malleted and Rung notes emphasize the rhythms while perfectly-placed melody and counter-melody voicings are featured throughout the setting. Addition of accents, RT, shakes, and optional jingle bells (or sleigh bells) add even more interest to this amazing arrangement. This is definitely a "must-have" for your group's holiday concert repertoire!
