Review:
The piece opens with the singing bell technique in the bass clef and suspended bells in the treble giving a shimmering and ethereal feel to this beloved Austrian melody. There are hints of other Christmas melodies (Silent Night and O Little Town of Bethlehem) that help reflect upon the timing and birth of Jesus Christ. This nicely arranged composition is 51 measures and is scored in C Major.
