I was introduced to handchimes by a music teacher in the Czech Republic and loved them right away.  I went on to write this piece for three groups of children with handchimes.   A second version was added later with piano for a more “rocky” feel (optional).  The children where we taught in Family English Camp caught on to the music easily, and the Czech teacher and I collaborated in preparing the piece for the rest of the camp.  The results were enjoyable for all!

Sing to God

Children's Choir Full Score

This children's spiritual was inspired by two grandchildren, ages 2 and 4
  as they sang for others.  The 4 year
  old recounted the essentials of Christmas while the 2 year old bounced up and
  down on the bed chanting "Jeez, Jeez,... "  The 2 year olds beginner words became the
  descant of "Jesus".  It is
  hoped that children will enjoy this song and with it, have an easy way to
  tell others the good news of Christmas.

  is to say that God is great.  It does
  so using synonyms for the word great, which makes for new vocabulary and also
  makes for fun singing.  How fast can

The familiar song Away in a Manger is sometimes known as the Cradle Song when it is done to the melody of William Kirkpatrick.  In this arrangement, there are three verses that could be done in different ways. For instance, verse one could be done with a group in unison, verse two by a soloist or small group and verse three with melody and harmony.  The handchimes require only three children, each playing two notes of a chord.
