Holid
ay 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.
