BHS2109 It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

一首優美的聖誕頌歌。歌曲開首以singing bells及suspended mallet帶出清澈的午夜星空，猶如在寧靜的環境中聽著天使的歌聲。在樂曲中段，旋律流暢地由低音轉至高音，伴隨4-in-hand作優美的伴奏。樂曲尾段再次奏起開首的段落並徐徐落幕。

This piece is a 1849 poem and a popular Christmas Carol written by Edmund Sears. The arranger aranged this into a bell quartet, using singing bells and suspended mallets at the start to bring out the silence of a starry night. In the middle of the piece, the melodic line is transformed from the bass ringer to the top, a 4-in-hand technique as accompaniment is applied. The tune comes back like an echo that is fading, with suspended mallets to end the piece.
