Review:
This setting of the familiar carol is written as a fantasy on the theme in D Minor. Technically, ringers alternate between more difficult ringing, with melody in the bass bells to tutti sections. Stately, mystical, and harmonically rich, one can almost see the kings as they search for the Christ child. Follow them as they ride through the mysterious night and find the babe, led by that bright star. 49 measures. Key of d minor.
