CGB745 O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Description

This quiet, gentle setting incorporates "How Far Is It to Bethlehem," another traditional English tune.

The piece is appropriate for the Christmas season, and it is especially useful for Christmas Eve and candlelight services.

Voicing: 3, 4, or 5 octaves handbells with optional 3 octaves handchimes
