Review:
Part of the "Ardis Freeman Handbell Library," this 4-page setting of the old spiritual mixes weak-beat pulses, chordal melodies, mallets (or plucks) and shakes to bring home the joy of the music. The back page contains the bells used chart with 2 suggested bell assignments, a warm-up exercise applicable to the piece, and helpful performance notes. Measures total 47.
