Coventry Carol

This easy setting of the haunting Christmas tune sounds much bigger and more difficult than it is. While the rhythms are all Level 1 and there are no bell changes, varied techniques and tempo changes add slightly to the complexity. Singing bell, finger cymbals, and bells malleted off the table create a mystical backdrop against which the rung melody is heard. Martellato is used effectively to convey "Herod the king in his raging." Available in compatible 2–3 and 3–5 octave settings; use for worship, concert, or festival.
