The wonder in the heavens

This joyful Christmas piece arranged by Tom Fettke weaves together two beloved melodies: the classical grandeur of Haydn's "The heavens are telling" and the lively, traditional French carol "Ding dong merrily on high." It captures the sheer excitement of the Nativity, blending the majesty of the cosmos declaring God's glory with the ringing bells and angelic choirs of the Christmas story.

Choirs will find this a brilliant addition to their Christmas repertoire, perfect for a festive concert or as a vibrant anthem during the Christmas season. The seamless transition from the stately opening into the rhythmic, bell-like "Ding dong!" creates a dynamic and uplifting experience that invites both singers and listeners to join the angels in singing "Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!"
