Review:
Sondra Tucker’s handbell setting of the perennial choral favorite by Natalie Sleeth is faithful to the original. Take care to keep the various melodic lines separated through careful attention to dynamics and clean damping. The percussion part (bongos) is included in the handbell part. This composition would be an excellent addition to a spring concert. 104 measures in length, it is set in f minor.
