Linda McKechnie weaves her own original tune together with the Christmas favorites "Deck the Halls", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", and "Gloria in Excelsis". The result is a musical fabric of staccato, suspended mallet technique, echo, mart-lifts, and shakes. Six chimes, ranging from C5-A6, join in on the melody in the middle section. 95 festive measures!
