Holiday Classic A joyous bell peal leads to the first iteration of the theme before moving into a more flowing verse accompanied by delicate mallets on treble handbells. An optional dark and dissonant verse (which portrays one of the lesser-known stanzas of the Longfellow poem) gives way to a verse in minor before a triumphant return to major to depict the lyrics, Then pealed the bells more loud and deep/God is not dead, nor doth he sleep... An exciting and beautiful addition to your holiday worship or concert.

This Andante is taken from the violin concerto by Felix Mendelssohn. The piece begins simply, but soon builds in emotional intensity. The handbell arranger accomplished this through added more bells and increasing the dynamic. Bell changes will need some work as will sixteenth-note rhythms, but all well work the effort of the finished work. 91 measures in length, this arrangement is set in C Major.
