Alternate choreography submitted by Jan Davis:

Jan says: First of all, I started the piece by playing through the melody of "O Come Emmanuel" unaccompanied. When I reached the point in the song where the intro to the written piece is, I paused and the piano hit the first chord and we continued as written. We jokingly called it "The O-Lo Medley".

At the start, all the bells used in the piece are layed out in order, with the exception of the G6 and C7 being already set up for a right hand 4ih and placed above the other high bells.

After the fermata on measure 5 (during the 4 measure piano interlude) I placed E5 above A5, D5 above G5, and C5 above F5. This re-setting eliminates a lot of side to side movement and makes the whole thing "flow" very smoothly by cutting down on how far out the bells are spread.

	M. 10-start right hand, alternate through
	M. 15--RH starts
	M. 19--RH starts
	M 25-prepare C6/F6
	M. 37--RH starts
	I pretty much did the end as noted on the music, except I played 4 notes at the end: F5&C6-RH, F6&A6-LH

Thanks so much for your submission, Jan!
