Review:
This exuberant setting of the French carol, "Angels We Have Heard on High," expresses well the "glad tidings" of the angels that first Christmas. Bell-peal patterns, bright-doubled melody, syncopated accompaniment, and energy that pulses through E flat and F Major keys are scored to keep all ringers involved. A satisfying addition to worship, concert, or any Christmas bell "outing," this piece is 99 measures.
