Description

Level 4 • This creative and varied arrangement of the French carol NOËL NOUVELET is an exciting musical option for both the Christmas and Easter seasons. The opening uses randomly malleted bells along with a freely rung melody. It is ethereal and still, suggesting the new birth of both seasons. The remainder of the piece is energetic and rhythmic, with malleted bass bells and the use of martellato, martellato-lift, and shaking. The music is further enhanced by the use of chime tree, finger cymbals, tambourine, and tenor drum.
