Good King Wenceslas

A brisk, 8-measures passage sets up a steady tempo with mallets on tabled bells and thumb damps. The tune enters at nine as a single line, but soon swells to full chords rung in forte dynamic. Other sections are “gentle” effected by the echo technique; “stately” with steady-march tempo; and a final return to the opening material with a few more surprised added to the mix! 85 measures.
