A Fantasy on Christmas Carols. Composed by Harrie Janssen. Arranged by Harrie Janssen. Full set. Duration 8 minutes. Molenaar Edition #013433060. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.013433060).

The Christmas fantasy Hymns and Carols is based on a number of relatively unknown carols. Alongside three English Christmas carols, this composition includes a fragment of a Gregorian chant, a Marian antiphon (Salve Regina), and a Russian Carol. A characteristic feature of this last song is the recurring motif that symbolises the bells chiming to welcome in the New Year. The English carols represent the more lyrical part of this fantasy. The piece has a majestic ending, which returns to the aforementioned Salve Regina, a hymn to the Virgin Mary.
