Review:
This cheery 3-5 oct. Level 1+ piece will delight your ringers and audience with its bold chords, catchy melody, Mixolydian mode, and many techniques. Crafted with particular care by an experienced handbell teacher, "Providence" allows ringers to experience more challenging and harmonically interesting music in an easy-to-read score. The many techniques (mart lift and mart, mallet for bass, echo, vibrato, LV, thumb damp, shake and ring touch) as well as bell changes and rhythm patterns can be taught and practiced with the included Unison Exercise sheet written specifically for this piece. Once they’ve mastered this sheet, your ringers will be well-prepared to ring Providence with assurance. One of the first pieces offered in the Class ring Series, it is still a favorite go-to piece for school programs, concerts, worship, and Festival settings. A bonus piece, "Processional Praise", is included as well. 56 measures. Performance time 2:00. Begins in F Major, then modulates to G Major. Recording courtesy of Jarod Ogier and Columbus Rings!
