Matinata III
Part of the “Class ring Series” from Kathleen Wissinger which offers carefully written pieces for teaching ringers new skills, Matinata III’s sprightly melody includes all ringers in a series of carefully placed 8th notes pairs (each pair belongs to only one ringer) making them much easier to ring. A variety of techniques are used in appropriate ranges, and a Unison Exercise sheet is included to prepare your ringers for the rhythms and techniques used in the piece. Matinata III is compatible with Matinata I & II (RE230312) which offer L1 positions for some of the ringers; making the “Matinata trio” a strong choice for school programs and Massed Festivals including various levels of ringers. Please note: Morning Song A&B (RE2302AB) is the same tune as Matinata I, II & III but is set in different keys – so neither Morning Song A nor Morning Song B are compatible with any Matinata settings. All three Matinata settings ARE compatible. 46 measures (please note, the B section, which is repeated in Matinata I & II, is written out in Matinata III, two "sets" of measure numbers are provided for use with compatible scores). Key of C Major.
