Review:
Close your eyes and visualize the camel caravan in the desert night. Sandra Eithun has captured the wonder of the magi in this creative reworking of the familiar carol. Inventive textures and rhythms keep ringers and audiences engaged, enhanced by the optional tambourine, triangle, and windchimes, which nicely complement the timbre of the handbells. Add this piece to your holiday concert program, or to your services for Christmas or Epiphany. 102 measures. Key of Eb Major.
