Review:
Interesting arrangements for beginning ringers are found in this Ardis Freeman handbell library. "Jingle Bells" combines chordal texture and optional staccato techniques with enough to keep everyone busy. 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.
