Carol of the Bells

The originally Ukrainian folk song gained fame especially through the movie "Kevin - Alone at Home". In this arrangement, various 'Bells' of the percussion instrumentarium are made to sound. The introduction is meant to imitate the ringing of church bells. Of particular note is the interplay between the main theme and the non-original secondary theme. The performance requires a set of handbells to be pressed with the following notes: A1, H1, C2, D2, E2, F2, F#2, G2, A2, H2, C3. \u000BThese are placed in a row on a table in front of the two players. Alternatively, these two voices can be played by one person on a second glockenspiel or alto glockenspiel. \u000BThe marimba is played by two people, but it can also be played by a single person or optionally by a piano. The tubular bell part is optional. Florian Klinger, born 1991 in Hollabrunn, is an Austrian percussionist and jazz vibraphonist.
