An optional piano part is also available to further augment the sonorities.

Composed by Sandra Eithun. Handbell music. Score. Beckenhorst Press #HB756. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB756).

Written for 5 to 8 octave handbell choir. Level 5+.

Sandra Eithun has masterfully woven together the tune Creator of the Stars of Night with Do You Hear What I Hear? in this new addition to The Legacy Series. Changing meters and driving rhythms abound as listeners and ringers are treated to various styles and moods as the piece progresses. The tune rises in intensity and complexity before coming back to the opening feeling of rest and hopeful anticipation. A glorious choice for the advanced ensemble this holiday season!
