CGB553 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Handbell Score)
Description
This arrangement is written for two choirs, with the less-advanced group playing the part for handchime choir. If two choirs are not available, a keyboard may substitute for the handchime choir. The piece begins and ends with a bell peal gaily quoting “Joy to the World.” The middle section modulates to a new key with a dance-like arrangement for handbells alone and then moves back to the original key as the handchimes join for the closing section.
Arranger: Anne Krentz Organ
