Handbells 3-5 Octaves
Arranged by David R. Kent
Level: 4+
Setting a 4/4 tune in 3/4 meter is the clever device arranger David Kent uses for his arrangement of the tradition French carol. This results in syncopation and a lilt otherwise unknown to the regular tune. The lively, fully-scored adaptation keep all ringers involved until the ending in measure one hundred and twenty-three. A good "challenge" piece for most choirs, it is scored in C Major and D Major.
