Review:
Three hymn tunes associated with the manger (Mueller, Greensleeves and Cradle Song) are exquisitely rendered in “A Manger Lullaby,” a medley for 3-5/6 octaves bells and optional 3-4 octaves of chimes by Kathleen Wissinger. Snippets of Brahm’s Lullaby enhance the cradle-side themes, and an optional Bell Tree adds sparkle throughout. Commissioned to celebrate the life of Michael David Nelson and the 40th anniversary of the FBC Handbell Choir, Madison, WI, “A Manger Lullaby” (Level 3) will add grace and drama to concert, worship and festival repertoire during Advent, Christmas or Epiphany. Part of ringTrue’s “True Music” Series which offers top quality scores for performance and sacred settings.
