Review:
This piece is a medley of two Advent tunes, “Hyfrydol” and “Comfort You My People,” in ABA form, with shifting meters and a unifying ostinato found in both piano and handbell parts. Soloists may find it somewhat challenging, with extensive use of traveling four-in-hand in the lower treble clef, a five-bell treble ostinato (requiring six-in-hand technique), a killer transition descending from the descant to melody in the bass, and a BIG finish. 102 measures.
