Review:
Using only legato ringing, this gently flowing setting conveys a sense of peace and tranquility surrounding the birth of the Christ child. Optional handchimes in the middle section provide a lovely contrasting treatment of the melody. Not difficult, this level 2 piece is accessible to virtually all choirs. Measures total 67.
