Song of the Manger arranged by Arnold B. Sherman. For handbell choir (3-5 octaves) with optional 3-5 octave handchimes. Christmas, Sacred. Grade 2+. Handbell score. 8 pages. Published by Hope Publishing Company (HP.2272).

The combination is especially pleasing when the Polish Carol reappears in the bass line on the optional handchimes.
