This superb selection of Advent and Christmas favorites contains many favorite carols and songs that will help cheer your heart and home during the Christmas season. In addition to the brilliant reverberations of handbells, some tracks also contain handchimes, woodwinds, strings, organ, and piano. GIA handbell music editor Philip L. Roberts writes: "This album contains best-loved and well-known Christmas music recorded by Embellish Handbell Ensemble and Chicago Bronze, using five or more octaves of handbells... Each title is part of our growing GIA handbell music repertoire... I thank Embellish Handbell Ensemble of Grand Rapids, Michigan and their outstanding director, Stephanie Wiltse, along with recording engineer Roy Wallace for their work on the music performed and recorded by Embellish. Thanks to Roy for mastering this album as well."
