Product Description
According to my friend Maestro, "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" is "the ultimate HAPPY SONG!" Arranged for one-octave handbells (G4 F#5), this BEGINNING HANDBELL CHOIR piece literally rings with happiness in tone and lyric. Practice suggestion: use a metronome during practice. Begin around 60 bpm and work up to 90 bpm. For school, church, or civic organizations and events.
A man of many words, Maestro has a suggestion for beginning handbell ringers (see "America" arrangement by C.E. Walz for More of Maestros words): use a highlighter to mark the notes your bell plays in the piece. If you play more than one bell, use different colors. And highlight the text words below your notes, too. If you lose your place, you can instantly see where your next note will be (of course, that means youll have to sing along quietly during performance). Maestro adds, "Dont drown out the bells!" Key of Bb, two pages, 1:06 minutes performance time (2:12 minutes with optional repeat)
