Deck the Halls—arr. Jason W. Krug. A jaunty
opening figure leads off this arrangement of the
well-loved Welsh tune. After a couple of traditional
verses, the tune is set as a waltz before one last
triumphant iteration of the theme brings the piece
to a glorious conclusion. Add in the optional

of the piece. A fun choice for the holiday season!

Ding Dong! Merrily on High—Matthew
Compton. An opening peal figure gives way to the
theme of the traditional carol, all in 10/8 time. A
more standard verse in 4/4 gives way once more
to 10/8 as the piece comes in for a raucous
conclusion. Unexpected and compelling harmonies
abound throughout, giving this old carol a new
feeling. A great choice for advanced ensembles
looking for a chance to work on mixed meter.

moment in worship during the Christmas season
or any time of year.

Four Christmas Hymns for Twelve Bells
—arr. Sandra Eithun. This collection of time-
honored Christmas carols is perfect for the busy

for church services or would like to travel with a
small group to other venues like schools, nursing
homes, or business events. Each piece uses only
twelve bells, spanning F5 to C7, and includes
suggested assignments for each bell. Because not

memorable arrangement of the hymn tune

Glad Tidings of Joy—arr. Lloyd Larson. Pairing
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Pat-a-Pan
is a delight to listen to or play. Driving malleted
rhythms underpin the melody until a brief echo
section which gives way to the malleted rhythms
once more. A key change introduces the Pat-a-Pan
melody before a return to the original key brings
the piece in to its exciting conclusion. A must-have
for this Christmas season!

Brian Childers. The introduction builds slowly in
intensity and complexity to the introduction of the
tune, which appears in a fantasia-like setting. The

main theme returns in triumphant style for a grand
and glorious conclusion!
