Carol of the Bells

The simple setting of this well known tune was done in my first year of working with the percussion ensemble at a Junior High School. I had quite a few problems finding music suitable for their level of development, so I wrote a simple arrangement for them for the Holiday Season. We were lucky enough to have an Elementary School as a feeder school that had hand bells, so the optional hand bell introduction was written. It is arranged for 2 Bells parts, Chimes and percussion.
