God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemenarr. Wesley
D. Peters. With a delightfully playful rhythmic
interplay between 3/4 and 6/8 meters, this
joyous, fresh setting of the traditional English carol
seizes one's interest from its introduction to its
exuberant conclusion. The mixed meter sections
act as musical bookends to a sensitive a cappella
centerpiece featuring the reassuring angelic
presence at the Nativity. Equally appropriate for
both school and church use.

l God Will Give Orders/Sweet ChildSarah
Quartel. This evocative anthem, taken from Sarah
Quartel's larger work Snow Angel, is a piece in
two sections. Opening with a haunting cello line,
the first section is mystical and ethereal. With the
entrance of the djembe the music immediately
shifts in mood and thought to a much bolder idea.
The ending is almost African in flavor with the entire
piece ending a cappella in a quieter mood. Beautiful
and fun!

Ht Going to BethlehemJay Althouse. Jay has
done it again with this exciting original Christmas
spiritual that grabs hold of you in the first measure
and doesn't let go! Energized rhythms propel this
piece and create a sense of haste as the visitors
travel to the manger to see the newborn King. The
verses are repetitive but contain plenty of surprises.
A fresh work that's solidly rooted in the classic
spiritual traditions, this is an absolute must!

Thomas Grassi. This superb setting of a German
carol opens with a jubilant fanfare. Excitement
escalates as the carol appears, modulating up with
the second and third verses, and the concluding
fanfare provides a thrilling close. From the Celtic-
inspired cantata, "Stars of Glory," this piece is great
for holiday concerts or Christmas worship.

H The Hands that First Held Mary's ChildDan
Forrest. An incredible text tells the extraordinary
story of a Child, whose journey begins in Bethlehem,
with the weathered hands of a carpenter holding
his newborn son. "The hands that first held Mary's
child were hard from working wood. From boards
they sawed and planed and filed and splinters they
withstood. This day they gripped no tool of steel,
they drove no iron nail, but cradled from the head
to heel our Lord, newborn and frail."

Hark! The Herald Angels Singarr. Cathy
Moklebust. This very flexible arrangement of the
beloved carol may be played by bells alone, or
together with any or all of the optional forces. A
handbell peal accompanied by bell tones in the
trumpets is featured in the introduction to this
sparkling arrangement. Stanza 1 is fully scored, with
the choir in four parts. Stanza 2 begins with men's
voices accompanied by low brass, with the upper
treble handbells playing a lightly thumb-damped,
rhythmic countermelody. The women's voices and
high brass then take the lead, accompanied by
malleted bass bells. After a brief interlude, stanza
3 features a descant in the soprano voices and
bells. A short, optional ending is provided following
the final stanza. Since all the additional parts are
optional, this arrangement is a versatile addition to
the handbell Christmas repertoire.
