Review:
This masterwork, written for the Back Bay Ringers, is an exciting setting of the beloved Christmas carol, suitable for advanced ensembles. An opening tower-bell-like change ring gives way to a varied series of treatments of the theme. Perfect for a Christmas concert or any time during the Advent or Christmas seasons.
