Angels We Have Heard on High

This exuberant setting of the French carol, “Angels We Have Heard on High,” expresses well the “glad tidings” of the angels that first Christmas. Bell-peal patterns, bright-doubled melody, syncopated accompaniment, and energy that pulses through E flat and F Major keys are scored to keep all ringers involved. A satisfying addition to worship, concert, or any Christmas bell “outing,” this piece is 99 measures.
