Description

Sing a new Christmas carol this yuletide and accompany it with bells! This original hymn describing Mary and Joseph’s trip to Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus includes the congregational hymn and permission to copy it. The bells ring introduction and interludes but mostly provide accompaniment for the singing. The beginning text is: “The travelers from Nazareth set out for Bethlehem; a dusty road, a frosty breath lie on the way for them.” The piece is one hundred and four measures and is scored in d minor.
