Arranged for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir, optional 3 to 6 octaves of handchimes and optional flute, windchimes and bongo drum.  Level 3.  With a mysterious and evocative opening, this arrangement of a French carol is sure to add an element of the ethereal to your worship or concert setting.  The theme becomes more insistent and energetic with each successive verse, before culminating in an almost-raucous final iteration.  Optional percussion drives the piece along, and the optional flute provides interesting, bird-like ornamentation.  A treat for listener and ringer alike!
