Description

This setting of three favorite Advent and Christmas songs has been artfully arranged for two complete, 5 or 6-octave handbell choirs and has several options which will offer interesting performance choices. A director can opt for a processional, a bell tree and the Singing Bell technique. A keyboard can play one of the choir parts as written by simply omitting the top notes in a few measures. This is a lovely arrangement which is easily accessible for the level 3 ensemble. “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” is in the key of E Minor. which modulates to E Major on “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”, then returns to E Minor for “What Child Is This”.
