Yankee Doodle
In her performance notes, Kirtsy Mitchell writes: "Handbells may be sounded by ways other than ringing. This arrangement uses several stopped sound techniques. Where percussion instruments are indicated by a special notation you may use a drum, rhythm sticks or clap your hands." Repetitious accompaniment patterns are set up; and then the melody enters, making this fully scored piece a "big" selection to do for young ringers. Measures total 60 in G Major.
