This Year (Ring Out the Old, Ring In the
New, from "Bells! A Holiday Choral
Suite")—Jacob Narverud. Combining
with the traditional Auld Lang Syne, this
sweetly sentimental original work is written

spoken solo in the middle as well as an
opportunity for the choir to recite their own
resolutions for the coming year and ring their
own bells in the final measures. Perform it
successfully with piano alone, with synth
strings and drum set, or add the optional full
string and percussion instrumentation. .
