Bursting with the joy of the season this clever, fun-filled setting is malleted throughout, making the occasional chromatics much easier to execute. The score is marked with "Xs" to indicate where the ringers click their mallets together for a percussive effect. Other percussion instruments can be added to this effect for even more variety and excitement. Arranger Valerie Stephenson has truly captured the exuberance of the holidays with this delightful setting for 3-5 octave handbells. The percussion part is included in the handbell score.
