Setting a Christmas poem by African-American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Ring Out, Ye Bells! captures the joy and exuberance of the holiday season.  Featuring dynamic and flexible solos, easy-on-the-ears harmonies, and a grooving rhythmic pulse, this R&B-inspired work for bass voices and cajon is as fun to sing and as it is to hear.  A festive addition to your winter program!

​

MorningStar Music: "In need of a men's chorus Christmas piece that will, as they say, 'stop the show?' This composer's debut in our catalog is just such a piece. The text and music cover a wide range of emotions, from tender to triumphant."
