Review:
"Ding Dong Merrily on High" has been a favorite tune for handbell choirs for years. Now, thanks to the gifted Sondra Tucker, this song is arranged for two or three octave ensembles. Using techniques such as shake and martellato to brighten the texture, this arrangement has only a few bell changes, and is accessible to most groups. 79 measures. Begins in C Major, then modulates to Eb Major.
