Classical Christmas Bells

In English only.

Like its twin Classical Bells, Classical Christmas Bells cleverly mixes popular classical themes with Christmas songs. These “a la” arrangements are pretty funny. The boomwhacker parts use the diatonic C scale only, so they can be played with bells, xylophones or metallophones.
