Review:
Written with a Celtic flavor, this medley of two traditional English carols will satisfy directors and ringers who are looking for a more joyful, dance-like Christmas or Epiphany selection. Since the piece progresses along at a fast pace, ringing close to the body helps ensure the precise rhythmic phrasing this setting requires. Arranged for 3 octaves of handbells with optional piccolo, tambourine, and percussion (Hand Drum, Tom Tom, Muffled Drum, or Bongos). A part for Bb clarinet is also included as a substitute for the piccolo.
