“Christmastime” is a modern Christmas carol that has quickly become part of the standard holiday songbook. Dancing joyfully between a neoclassical “vibe” and a light jazz pop idiom, this piece pushes all the right buttons for a happy holiday moment in your concerts or worship services. The text celebrates bells and the inclusion of “Ding Dong! Merrily on High” adds a special sparkle. Present with piano only or full orchestra, or with the optional handbell part to open this anthem to even more possibilities! Yes!
