Review:
Ringers of all ages will share in the infectious delight of this creative arrangement.
JOYFUL, JOYFUL! celebrates the well-known
HYMN TO JOY by offering different performance possibilities; it can be malleted by handbells or rung by handchimes; the "sticking" (clicking together of the mallets) is meant to imitate a band drumline, with each ringer having two mallets; and experimentation is welcomed in this simple but exciting rendition. The two editions are compatible for massed ringing.
