This delightful and creative setting of four Christmas favorites is in Mixolydian mode. The rhythmic opening section sets the basis of a melodic accompaniment pattern that weaves throughout the work while the various carol tunes are featured. A variety of articulation techniques are perfectly placed and the addition of handchimes gives a nice balance to the bell sounds. This is cleverly crafted and will delight audiences and ringers alike!
