I have arranged this old German carol about the bells ringing at Christmas giving the some of the voices the chance to simulate bells (and also adding a cheeky English cadence!).
The zip file contains versions in D major, E flat major and F major, so you can take your choice.
The sound file is a performance (multitracking) of the D major version (ATTB) performed by the David W Solomons (dwsChorale)

Traditional German carol (based on a Thuringian melody "Seht wie die Sonne dort sinket" from around 1808),
originally arranged for choir and now recreated for instrumental quartet.
The melody moves through the parts while the other parts represent the ringing of the bells -
with a few added cheeky English cadences.
Versions are available on this site for string quartet, wind quartet, brass quartet
and, of course, the original choral setting.
The setting for choir, sung by the dwsChorale, can be enjoyed on youtube at
