This 2-page setting of the traditional English carol makes extensive use of the staccato technique. Reading music "road signs" is another feature for teaching. Merriment certainly shows in this excellent arrangement. Plucking, malleting, martellato, or thumb damps make the piece attractive and interesting to ringers and audience alike. The back page contains the bells used chart with 2 suggested bell assignments, a warm-up exercise applicable to the piece, and helpful performance notes. Measures total 31 with repeats.
