CGB1234 News of Great Joy

Description

Reproducible • News of Great Joy is a collection of five Christmas carols, set for 8 handbells or handchimes and piano. Since there are no bell changes, each ringer has only two bells to ring in each piece, making the possibilities of ringing during the Christmas season  numerous. Handbell tables are not necessary, and there is the possibility of ringing these pieces without the piano when one is not available.  The ringers simply may ring through the measures of rests. Celebrate the season!!
