Ring Glad Christmas Bells - Words and Music by Betsy lee Bailey
Original Christmas Song for SATB Choir and Piano with Optional part for Handbells
|
"Ring Glad Christmas Bells" for Mixed SATB Chorus and Piano is a joyful Opener for any Christmas Concert. With the addition of Handbells or Glockenspiel, this piece is just less than 3:00 minutes of pure delight. The voices sing in tight contemporary harmonies, yet keep true to the buoyant style of an English Madrigal. The original sacred text proclaims the joyous news "that Jesus the Savior is born today!" Fun for the singers! Fun for the listeners! Accessible for late Junior High, High School and Adult Choirs and appropriate for Church services as well as Christmas Concerts.
