Review:
Combine a healthy dose of Bluegrass musical style with traditional Christmas carols and you'll have a good idea of the fun ringers will have performing this upbeat Christmas medley. Carols included are "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear", "The First Noel", "Silent Night", and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". The handbells mimic traditional Appalachian instruments - banjo, mandolin, guitar, double bass, and dulcimer. This jolly 90-measure medley is scored in the keys of G Major, C Major, and F Major.
