It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

The setting of the familiar carol uses Singing Bells and suspended mallets at the beginning to accentuate the silence of a starry night. In the middle, the melodic line is transferred from the bass ringer to the top ringer, with the other ringers using a 4-in-hand technique to play the accompaniment. The piece concludes like an echo that is fading, with suspended mallets to end the piece.
