Description

Leroy Anderson, master of compositions for light orchestra and best known for “Sleigh Ride,” penned this original in 1954. Arranger Betty B. Garee brought this lovely tune alive for handbells and flute (or handchimes or other C instrument). Smooth lyrical lines in eighth and sixteenth notes move the music forward, while playful staccatos add bubble and bounce. The flute score is both separate and above the bell score.
