This could function as an easy double-choir piece for a four-octave handbell choir AND a three octave handchime choir. The piece, often called How Great Our Joy (hymn tune ECHO CAROL or JÃœNGST), uses the two choirs to echo back and forth, or it can be played with one bell choir using 4 octaves of bells and 3 octaves of handchimes.

This rhythmic rendition of the traditional carol is a blast! The funky feel craves choreography (on the Step One! DVD and at alfred.com/video), a likely addition, as accessible writing will make note learning a breeze. A new half-time bridge leads into a key change just before the final groovin' verse.

Twas in the Moon of Wintertime is a traditional Canadian carol which was originally written in the Huron Indian language by a Jesuit missionary. Robert W. Smith captures the mystique of the native Indian culture, and voices the percussion to be as 'ethnically' accurate as possible. This is pure Robert W. Smith scoring. Haunting!
