Review:
The perfect opener for any Christmas service or concert, this energetic arrangement of "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing" comes to us from the creative mind of Dan Edwards. The melody--written in 3/4 time--and a moving eighth-note accompaniment adds to the excitement. The piece also features many handbell techniques, including malleting, shakes, martellatos, and tower swings. Key of C Major. 104 measures.
