Review:
This reproducible collection for 8, 10, or 12 handbells or handchimes and piano will give smaller groups opportunities to play during the Advent and Christmas season. LV and Sk are the only special techniques used, and the shakes should be omitted when playing with handchimes. The arrangements in this accessible, easy-to-learn, yet full-sounding collection are perfect for worship or concert, and are especially convenient as no tables are needed.
Included are "In the Bleak Midwinter" (CRANHAM), "Hark, the Glad Sound" (CHESTERFIELD), "Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head" (Appalachian folk carol), "The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came" (GABRIEL'S MESSAGE), and "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" (CAROL). "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Hark, the Glad Sound" are the only two with audio files.
