Gesu Bambino—Pietro Yon/arr. Sondra K.

quietly, almost like a music box, with delicate,

exclamation of joy before ending as quietly as
it begins.

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!

the well-loved Appalachian carol. Random
malleting on suspended bells creates an

change gives way to a more powerful iteration
of the theme before the piece ends as it began
and gently fades away. This is a beautiful piece
for concert or worship.
