About Kling, Glöckchen
This popular Christmas song is presented here for SATB choir. The German lyrics, attributed to a tradition but with the melody sometimes given to Benedikt Widmann, express a cheerful, childlike invitation to ring bells and open doors to welcome in the winter festivities. The text speaks of cold outside and the warmth of welcome, of children and gifts, and finally of opening hearts to the joy of Christmas. Its simple, evocative language and memorable melody make it a festive addition to any seasonal programme.
