Wind Through the Olive Trees is a traditional carol arranged for unison voices. The descant is optional, but adds a lovely soaring line above the melody. The independent piano part flows gently under and around the voices. The simple part for seven handchimes or handbells may be omitted, but really does add a nice silvery quality to the piece. Since the handchimes only play during the introduction and interludes, the singers themselves will enjoy playing them. Customer Reviews
