This medley of ancient tunes is a delightful addition to any Christmas celebration. It combines "Lo How a Rose", "Coventry Carol", "Bring a Touch" "Ding Dong", "Merrily on High" and "The Echo Hymn" in a thoroughly modern setting using varied bell techniques. The rhythms are straight forward although meters, tempos and key signatures change throughout.
