By Sharon Wilson. By Traditional. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. This edition: pdf. Christmas, Multicultural, Sacred, Standards, World. 8 pages. Sharon Wilson #6137821. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.569870).This sheet music is notated for 13-note (one octave, C to C chromatic scale) instruments with Handbells on one staff and Boomwhackers® on a second staff creating an instrumental ensemble (requires one set of each instrument). Handbells play the melody throughout while the Boomwhackers® add a creative, upbeat harmony. Included in this set of scores is a combined score with both instrument parts on a grand staff plus a separate score for each instrument. A note reference chart is also provided.
This set of scores uses black and white noteheads and is best suited for musicians already familiar with reading standard music notation. For beginning musicians, this same set of scores is available (sold separately) with color coded noteheads.
Only filled noteheads (quarter notes) are used so the notes are easier to see (this does not indicate the bells need to be silenced immediately before the next beat). Also, only quarter rests are used to help visualize the number of beats per measure. Lyrics are included as well to aid in the learning and teaching of this song.
Though this sheet music is notated for Handbells and Boomwhackers®, this arrangement is playable by any 13-note, C to C chromatic scale (one octave) instrument such as a xylophone or glockenspiel.
This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "Ten Christmas Carols for 13-note Bells and Boomwhackers®"
Other suggestions and uses:
* have both parts played by bells or both parts played using only Boomwhackers®
* form a choir using multiple sets of bells and/or Boomwhackers® (this would amplify the sound and allow more people to participate)
* use as part of the music education for children at school, home, or church
* these colorful, inexpensive instruments can be enjoyed by all ages and add a fun, unique element to activities and programs: senior centers, family reunions, church retreats, home school groups, children's ministries
