O Come, Little Children

Drawing inspiration from two beloved carols, Lloyd Larson has fashioned a lovely Christmas offering that brings out the best qualities of the handbell choir. The quiet opening on O Come, Little Children is followed by solid chordal ringing on Adeste Fideles before it returns to the peaceful wonder of the beginning. Steady eighth note motion through the piece can be achieved with just a couple careful bell assignments in this delicate and accessible setting.
