Review:
Commissioned for a young ringer's festival, this toe-tapping rendition of the old spiritual highlights the bell score with LOTS of percussion and speaking parts for the choir. The bell choir is divided in half, then they speak their parts in group in an answer fashion. Lots of fun! Percussion includes: Wood Block, Metal Saucepan, Triangle or Finger Cymbals, Rim shot or Tom Tom, Cowbell, Siren Whistle, Bicycle bell, Tom tom, Referee's whistle, Bicycle horn, Bird call (kazoo), Ratchet, Slide Whistle. Measures total 77.
