Green Blade Rises, The
Four handbells (E & B 5 & 6) join 3-part voices, flute/oboe, alto melophone (or keyboard) and drum in a this medieval style arrangement of the French Carol, "Noel nouvelet". Open fifths are the order of the day and ostinatos in varying instruments and voices carry the motion along. Beginning ringers should have no problem with this and will be sure to like the passage near the end that simply says, "Ring freely--like mad!"
