Review:
This entertaining setting of the family favorite is a fun tool for teaching ringers the various techniques used in handbells, i.e. "with a mart-mart here and a pluck-pluck there!". A table of all the special effects used (eleven in all) is included with explanations on how to execute them. There are One Hundred and eighty-nine measures, but they go by quickly. Other performance notes are given on how to vary these "variations" even more.
