Review:
This thoughtful and quiet rendering of the traditional English carol by arranger Sandra Eithun is a perfect fit for times when a more reflective mood during holiday performances is desired. All of the greenery of the Christmas season is covered as segments of "O Christmas Tree" are woven into this lyrical setting for 3-5 octave handbells. This peaceful version of "The Holly and the Ivy" is set in Eb Major and is 68 measures.
