Whether using the original German title - “Kling, Glockchen, Klingelingeling” - or its English translation, this light and folksy setting of a 19th century German carol is sure to please ringers and listeners alike! Extensive use of mallets, especially in the first of half of the piece, adds a “musicbox” quality. Something different for Christmas or general concert, this 76-measure arrangement is set in C Major, Db Major, and D Major. German and English texts to the music are printed on the back page.
