Review:
This volume contains multiple settings of 20 hymns and songs, arranged for 2 to 5 octaves of handbells. Each hymn has two or more settings that vary in level of difficulty, providing appropriate arrangements for every ensemble from beginners to experienced ringers. Each setting is designed to accompany congregational song, and many will work well as stand-alone pieces. There are five suites, with transitional music combining two or more hymn settings. An index of the performable suites is provided.
