Review:
This new, expanded version of a top-selling Christmas favorite is compatible with the original 3-4 octave version by Martha Lynn Thompson. The addition of the 5th and 6th octaves of bells takes this arrangement to an exciting new dimension with added parts for both the bass and treble ringers. Also new is an optional percussion part (printed on the last two pages of the bell score and reproducible) that adds even more variety and color to this proven winner. This expanded version is arranged in the keys of C Major and F Major and is 116 measures.
