Description

Based on the two wonderful carols, this piece may be performed by one handbell choir; or it may be rung by two or three separate choirs. If multiple choirs are used, the opening 22 measures may be performed antiphonally with Choirs I, II and III ringing segments of “Savior of the Nations, Come” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Measure 23 begins the full statement of “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Rich harmonies and appealing running eighth note patterns create a jubilant setting of this traditional Christmas carol, appropriate for church or your holiday concert.
