Review:
This 8-Bell collection features 3 thoughtful Lenten tunes: 1) MORNING SONG (Lord, Throughout These 40 Days), 2) MARTYRDOM (Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed) and 3) KAS DZIEDAJA (In the Darkness) – and all three hymn tunes have additional texts associated with them, allowing each to be played during other liturgical seasons as well. Each well-crafted Level 2 or 2+ arrangement is set in 4 different ranges for 1, 2 or 3 octaves to accommodate the range of bells available and the needs and numbers of your ringers (2, 3 or 4 ringers). They are ideal for challenging more advanced ringers using Four-in-Hand and for performing in smaller spaces without tables (each piece is diatonic – no bell changes - though you will have to change out bells from piece to piece). “8 Bells for Lent…and more” is also great for easy “no set-up” mobile outreach ringing in Retirement Communities, hospitals, in-home concerts, pop-up sessions, Salvation Army kettles, etc. Check on more 8-Bell folios (Advent, Christmas, Spirituals, Lent, Easter and more) as well as small collections in the “Celebrations” series from ringTrue: use the Music Search Assistant and click on the specific Series at bottom of the page at www.handbellworld.com
