Review:
Handel's "Messiah" and his Christmas hymns are combined in a wonderful way! This work includes "Joy to the World" and "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks", plus "For Unto Us a Child is Born" and the "Hallelujah Chorus". It uses bell peals, shakes, and optional chimes and is sure to be a hit for the Christmas season as listeners try to identify their favorite Messiah excerpts! Measures total 74.
