Review:
Talented writer Douglas E. Wagner offers this fantastic arrangement of the Gustav Holst choral classic for bells. Perfect for concerts or services, this piece needs to be in every bell choir's Christmas repertoire. (The tune is also known as "Good Christian Friends Rejoice" or "In Dulci Jubilo".) It is mostly straight ringing, with tempo and key changes being the most challenging aspects. 152 measures long, it is scored in Eb Major, G Major, and B Major.
