Arr by Lloyd Larson . . . Christmas Collection . . . 

 This is a very good collection of purely Level 1 music from a top arranger in the handbell world -- the book contains 8 arrangements of Christmas music, all familiar titles, half secular and half sacred.  There are no special techniques used, no difficult rhythms (save an occasional dotted-quarter-eighth in the melody) -- nothing difficult at all, which makes each song easy to work up for any choir (even Level 2 and Level 3 choirs who need something quickly for Christmas).  The arrangements are all chordal and solid, with no surprises or key changes.  

 Contents:  • Jingle Bells   • The First Noel   • Deck The Halls   • O Christmas Tree   • Infant Holy, Infant Lowly   • We Wish You A Merry Christmas                   • Angels From The Realms Of Glory   • Good Christian Friends, Rejoice

We also carry the 2 octave book on our website, #2612

• Various keys and time signatures from Level 1

• Quarter and half notes and whole notes; no special techniques or accidentals

• Dynamics range from p to f, and there are many spots for crescendo and decrescendo and an occasional ritard
