Once in Royal David's City

Once in Royal David's City
(for 3-6 octaves handbells), arranged by Scott Pfitzinger.

Based on the original Christmas carol by Henry J. Gauntlett, this piece starts with a traditional presentation of the carol, but then quickly breaks into a jazzy, syncopated, upbeat version that uses a variety of handbell techniques and drives right through to the end. A high-energy piece that is fun for all!
