4BR Shop: Carol of the Bells (Mykola Leontovych arr. Phillip Littlemore)

The wonderful Ukranian Bell Carol will be the perfect Christmas treat for any audience...

Carol of the bells
  The beautiful Carol of the Bells is the perfect bit of Christmas music making

The popular Ukranian Bell Carol has been a Christmas favourite for a number of years, and with Phillip Littlemore's skilled arrangement it is sure to be one that captures the imagination of brass band audiences for many more years to come too.

Home Alone

The film composer John Williams incorporated it into the score for the 1990 film 'Home Alone' and he is credited for bringing it to a wider audience still, although it had been released on Christmas albums by a number of popular artists before then.

This transcription has been adapted from the version created by Robert Prizeman, who arranged it for Libera, the world-famous boys' choir that he both founded and directs.

This brass band transcription introduces this skilled arrangement to a new genre and a whole new audience as well.

Price: £20.00
