A dreamy, lullaby mood is created in the second section of this traditional carol arrangement by the use of mallets on suspended high-treble bells. Otherwise, the tune is presented in a straightforward fashion with chordal accompaniment in F Major throughout. This 48-measure setting of the Christmas favorite would make a good choice for a Christmas Eve service.
