Product Description

Songs and Bells on Christmas Day is a setting of three carols with lyrics
pertaining to Christmas Bells and Christmas Day. The opening bell motif
is used as transition between the three carols.
" I heard the bells on Christmas day" is based on a poem written by
 American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Christmas Day 1863
during the Civil War.
 It was set to music by English organist J. Baptiste Calkin.  
The poignant lyrics resound:
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Of peace on earth good will to men
"Carol of the Bells" is the popular minimalistic Ukrainian Carol. It is followed by the
English song "I saw three ships come sailing in" on Christmas day in the morning.
This Christmas piece is dedicated to my London clarinetist friend Alison Eales.
