Review:
Interesting arrangements for beginning ringers are found in this Ardis Freeman handbell library.
"Doxology" is written in entirely chordal texture with some ties across the barline. Also, the ringers will encounter various "road map" signs and learn to follow a score. However, there are no worrisome page turns. The back cover gives performance suggestions and an warm-up exercise that helps the ringers understand the music better. Permission is given to copy the exercise on a transparency if so desired. Measures total 32.
