Review:
6/8 meter gives this setting of the French carol a dance-like character. There is enough leeway in the metronome marking to find a comfortable tempo for intermediate ringers. "I Saw Three Ships" is another lilting Christmas carol, and it is incorporated into this selection. Another feature is the scoring of optional 3-5 octaves of handchimes. Measures total 78.
