Additional info/contents	An insipiring composition which features narration based on the story of how Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the famous carol, 'I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day'. The hand bell choir part (3 octaves) is totally optional, but gives the director a method of involving local hand bell choirs in the holiday concert. The narration is essential to the performance. The handbell part is optional. If the handbells are not used the chimes should be featured prominently throughout. The narration should not be rushed so that the meaning of Longfellow's poem can be fully grasped by the audience.
