Gifts of the Seasons is a unique reproducible collection of three hymn tunes: NOËL NOUVELET (Now the Green Blade Rises / Sing We Now of Christmas), FOREST GREEN (As Saints of Old / O Little Town of Bethlehem / Blessed Be the God of Israel), and ANTIOCH (Joy to the World). Each arrangement has three separate handbell staves offering flexibility depending on the number of ringers available. Part II is always essential, requiring 3-5 ringers plus the piano accompaniment.
