We’ve had a wonderful time arranging Christmas carols. That’s not just the ones that we usually sing, but also going on the hunt for ones that are unfamiliar (to us).
One day on Facebook, we saw that someone was asking about the Italian carol From Starry Skies Descending, we looked into it, and soon had arrangements for eight handbells and twelve handbells. The video link below is for the twelve-bell version.
From starry skies descending,
Thou comest, glorious King,
A manger low Thy bed,
In winter’s icy sting;
God’s own and true Word,
Yet here no robe, no fire
For Thee, Divine Lord.
Purchasing this 12-bell arrangement gives you permission to print and maintain up to six copies for your handbell group (plus the accompaniment score, if part of the purchase) – so you only need to pay once. Purchase also gives permission for performance, broadcasting, live-streaming and video-sharing online. See our licensing agreement for full details, and please remember to mention the title and arranger of the piece on video-sharing sites, social media and any printed materials such as concert programs.
