Review:
"Fanfare for the Faithful" uses the traditional Adeste Fideles (
O Come All Ye Faithful) tune as an effective handbell and handchime composition for either worship or festival ringing. This bright, festive arrangement is easily accessible for ringers in church, school, or community ensembles; and it utilizes special techniques such as mallet rolls and mart lifts to give it an air of excitement and anticipation. An excellent choice for massed ringing, it is scored in G Major and is 53 measures.
