Martha Lynn has worked her magic in creating an arrangement with a lot of flexibility. It is mostly Rung with only a few stopped techniques and the occasional Shake.
It may be rung using 3 octaves handbells and 3 octaves handchimes
- OR – 4-5 octaves bells with 3 octaves chimes
It works well in a massed ringing setting with both 3 and 4-5 octaves groups
4-5 octaves bells can be joined by 3 octaves handchimes
Another instrument can be used in lieu of the hand chimes… the flexibility is endless!
This will be an amazing addition to your handbell repertoire!
