This favorite Christmas carol shimmers with beauty and sparkles with a variety of carefully chosen handbell techniques in this Arnold Sherman setting for 3-5 octaves with optional 3 octave handchimes. The addition of choirchimes adds another color to the palette of sound, making this piece a charming addition to concert programs or worship services. The eighth note upper treble in the beginning of the score imitates the sound of sleigh bells. 65 measures in length, it is scored in F Major.
