Review:
Creative uses of different choral textures help convey the message of the anticipation of the Savior’s birth and the celebration of that blessed event in this energetic arrangement by Tom Fettke. Combining two carol favorites, “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and the “Ukrainian Bell Carol,” it features either easy, 2-octave ring and sing handbells (available on Lorenz's website) or a more substantive 3-octave handbell score. Ring in the Christmas season with this distinctive arrangement, sure to be a favorite of singers and listeners alike. It is scored in F Major, d minor, and g minor, and is 91 measures. Orchestral parts include 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets, 3 trumpets, horn, 2 or 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings.
