Sleep in Heavenly Peace

The singing bowl technique in the lower notes and rubato tempo set the stage for this exceptional arrangement of Silent Night. The mysterious feeling gives way to a statement of the beloved melody, leading to a counterpoint with optional handchimes, for a lovely effect. Building again to a joyous refrain, swings are added for interest, before fading to a peaceful conclusion. A great option for all handbell groups, this arrangement would be a wonderful addition to any Advent or Christmas Eve service.
