3-6 octave handbells - Grade 3 SKU: BP.HB579
Composed by Matthew Compton. Arranged by Matthew Compton. Handbell choir music. Sacred, Christmas. Handbell score. Beckenhorst Press #HB579. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB579). Arranged for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir. Level 3+. An opening peal figure gives way to the theme of the traditional carol, all in 10/8 time. A more standard verse in 4/4 gives way once more to 10/8 as the piece comes in for a raucous conclusion. Unexpected and compelling harmonies abound throughout, giving this old carol a new feeling. A great choice for advanced ensembles looking for a chance to work on mixed meter.
