Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 3-. Patricia Hurlbutt's arrangement of this Yiddish folk tune provides something different for your ensemble this holiday season. Reflective and stirring, the melody and harmony combine to speak to the listener of expectation and waiting. Flowing lines and simple rhythms give way to moving sixteenths on the last verse, providing ensembles a challenge both technical and musical.
