Review:
"Shenandoah" is an arrangement of the beloved American folk song for 2-3 octaves beginning handbell choir, handchime choir or beginning ensemble. The piece challenges ringers to learn listening skills. It will be easy to hear the melody because of its familiarity, but have them mark the entrances so they can find it in relation to the harmony. The score is full and gives everyone plenty to do.
