Review:
This lullaby from the opera "Jocelyn" is effectively arranged for handbells or handchimes. The piece involves only straight ringing of easy rhythms, with a few dotted quarter/eighth notes offering the only challenge. There are a few accidentals and one meter change. This is a good teaching example for achieving balance between single-line melody and accompanying chords. It is 38 measures and is scored in Eb Major.
