Review:
Each piece in this 3-piece folio for varying octaves of bells has unique features. "Good Christian Friends, Rejoice" has a part for a melody line played by C instrument or handchimes or even whistled by the ringers as well as optional parts for finger cymbals and hand drum. "When Christmas Morn Is Dawning" is for 4 or 5 octaves with optional 4 octaves of handchimes and is a setting of WIR HATTEN GEBAUET. And "Lo, How a Rose Is Growing" features optional 4 octave of handchimes with the 4 octave of bells in 3/2 time. A nice resource for Christmas.
