Review:
Martha Lynn has combined these four favorite Christmas melodies into one amazing setting perfect for any holiday or worship program. Beginning with descending chords reminiscent of tower bells, the wonderful "Sussex Carol" melody begins on handchimes, then handbells. A subtle and very effective segue to a jaunty, malleted, rhythmic "Old Breton Melody" intertwines with The "First Noel" which is rung by both bells and chimes in octaves while a lone tolling bell tolls accents this section. The delight continues as the descending bell chords reemerge and "In Dulci Jubilo" is featured. It all comes together in an absolutely lovely setting that is certain to be a favorite of ringers and audiences alike!
