Written for 4 to 7 octave handbell choir. Level 4+.

Sandra Eithun's 4-7 octave handbell arrangement of "The Holly and the Ivy" is a glorious interpretation of the classic Christmas carol. The piece features a delicate and intricate melody that is supported by lush harmonies and subtle dynamics. The use of different handbell techniques, such as echoes and mallets, and optional tambourine, orchestra chimes, and chimetree, add to the tranquil and introspective mood of the arrangement, making it a perfect addition to any holiday program.
