Three variations of the traditional children's song are found in this 2-3 octave arrangement, which does a good job at using all the bells. Each variation is connected by a bridge based on the opening motive. Ask the ringers to sing along so they can identify the slight changes in the melody. Then ask them to listen for the melody as it moves from one register to another. Additional performance notes are given along with information about the arranger.
