Brian has written ‘Hymn Introductions’ designed to be rung by 3 – 6 players using bell trees (or tables) and can also work as processionals. The option is included to either lead into the hymn (ending on the dominant) or the tonic. No page turns, they can be easily memorized and may be shortened or lengthened and even adapted to accompany hymns. This collection will be a nice addition to your group’s repertoire. Hymns included are:
- Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Mendelssohn)
- Joy to the World (Antioch)
- Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (Picardy)
- O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Veni Emmanuel)
- O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fidelis)
