Review:
"Cool Cats 2 AB", with a cheery and somewhat cheeky melody, mallets, marts, light swing, and optional tambourine, will infuse a little jazz into your worship, concert or festival. Originally written as a trio/quartet/ensemble, this companion folio expands the score for full ringing ensembles - offering 2 non-compatible scores: "A" for 2 octaves (G4-G6, opt. A6) and "B" for 3-5 octaves. Melody is contained in the upper register, with mallets, marts, and full ringing featured in the supporting accompaniment. For a light moment in worship, use the subtitle "Praise Ye the Lord" which fits the rhythm of the melody perfectly.
"Cool Cats 2 AB" is part of the True Music series (ringTrue Handbell Music) showcasing well-crafted full-ensemble music for concert, festival and worship. The "B" version is compatible with the original 3 octave trio/ensemble score (Cool Cats RE6001 using C5-C7) which also can be played using a Bell Tree. The versatility of this piece makes it a smart choice for multiple choir events, giving directors a choice on which version best suits their choir's skills and numbers.
