This 15th century German carol has been set for 3,4 or 5 octaves of bells with optional 2 octaves handchimes. Extensive use is made of mallets on suspended bells. The choir chimes and bells play together in octaves on the melody - consider the shelley technique. A well-suited arrangement to this sweet carol.
