Welcome to another in the series entitled “With Just A Few…” featuring this Bach favorite arranged by Martha Lynn Thompson for two octaves bells scored in the treble clef. Assignments are suggested for 7 ringers … but can be easily adjusted for fewer or more ringers, depending on their skill. This is perfect for smaller groups or sub-groups of your full handbell choir. The bell part is Rung/LV throughout and a solo instrument is essential. For a more mellow sound, the bell part may be rung an octave lower: D4 – C6.
