Original

Song of Christmas composed by Henry John Gauntlett, and a Traditional French Carol. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. For Handbell Choir. Christian,Sacred,Christmas. Early Intermediate. Sheet Music Single. Published by Praising God Publications. S0.36577. Song of Christmas is an arrangement for 3-4-5 octave handbell choir. It is a 56 measure Christmas carol medley. It starts with "Once in Royal David's City", in the key of F. The first verse uses handchimes, although handbells can be substituted for the chimes, if desired. The second verse is louder, switches to handbells, uses fuller chords and is in the key of Bb. The last two musical phrases of this carol are repeated, grandioso. There is then a softer handchime repeat of the last phrase. Without pause, it begins a lively version of "Sing We Now of Christmas" in Eb. The melody alternates between handchimes and handbells. When the chimes are playing, the bells only play fills, etc. There is a brief. 2 measure. passage with handbells in the key of D, then it switches back to Eb for the big ending, using only bells. The ending is half-timed, with a descending chordal descant to the martellato stinger. Throughout the entire arrangement, handbells can substitute for handchimes. This arrangement is probably about a level 2 in difficulty. Digital Print is printable sheet music available anytime, anywhere. Just purchase, print and play.
