The addition of wind instrument to bells makes this setting of the French carol especially attractive. The interplay of instrumental color is enhanced by “singing bell” sustained chords and the use of chimes alone on one verse. Each stanza of this arrangement is a tonal treat. Scored in c minor and f minor, this setting is 56 measures in length.
