Review:
With an opening figure that invokes train wheels rolling along a track, this arrangement of the well-known spiritual is as much fun to ring as it is to hear. The melody passes between all ranges of the bells, giving everyone a chance to shine. Varied techniques add an element of interest, and both the key change and the occasional accidental give ringers a chance to practice bell changes. A fun number all around! 60 measures. Keys of F Major and G Major.
