Review: "Christmas Bells" presents melodies specifically arranged for eight, thirteen, and twenty note handbell sets. There are two songs for eight note set, three for 13 note sets, and 3 for twenty note sets.

Titles include: "Angels We Have Heard on High, The First Noel, Infant Holy and Three Kings, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Deck the Halls, Bring a Torch Jeannette Isabella," and "What Child is This?" This collection will work with the melody cards but not really with the color coded cards.
