Review:
Written for the Raleigh Ringers, this rendition of the Christmas carol pulses with rhythmic malleted accompaniment and optional conga drums. 10 optional chimes (ranging from D#5 to E6) are scored right at the beginning adding a shimmer to the music. The score is full, keeps all ringers involved, and moves through a couple of key changes. It is set in 2/4 time. Measures total 68.
