Description

You’ll think you’re on a tropical island listening to steel drum rolls, maracas and claves when you hear this upbeat setting of the favorite Christmas spiritual. No one lifts a bell until measure eighteen and then it is only to RT (ring touch), another form of staccato. When the ringing does start it is in chordal texture, but it doesn’t last long until the mallets are out again! An optional conga part is included on a separate score and noted in the handbell score.
