Review:
The perfect piece for newer or basic ringers to master just in time for Christmas! Written for Mike Joy's beginning adult group, this piece works as a stand-alone as well as a sing-along and features mostly quarter notes (and rests) with some voice-leading lines for melody in the bass. Both compatible 2-3 and 3-5 octave scores are included, so your 2-octave ringers have a cleaner score while a full 5-octave group can join in on the fun. (The 2-3 octave options in both scores are identical.) Optional malleted quarter notes throughout for the low bass – and a single capable bass ringer can cover ringing all half and whole notes in the verses.
And a Bonus! "Colored note" scores, both with (#5) and without (#6) lyrics, for 1-octave Boomwackers® & ChromaNotes™ are also included. These colored note scores are reproducible if enough scores for performance of #3 or #4 have been purchased. This entire score packet is also compatible with a previously published version - "Jingle, Jingle 1 & 2" (
RE201012). Now every single ringer in your organization can participate in this piece!!
"Jingle, Jingle 3 & 4" is part of the
Class Ring series from ringTrue – music carefully crafted to teach specific skills, allowing ringers to be successful and confident at each stage.
