Five Carols for Beginning Ringers
Christmas is a magical time of year when we remember the Christ Child and what His birth has meant to the world from that time to the present. We love to sing and ring carols of the season as we celebrate and "Five Carols for Beginning Ringers" offers new ringers the opportunity to participate in the Christmas celebration. Each carol is written for Level One ringers and no bell changes, no note values smaller than the quarter note, and no difficult rhythms. All articulations included may be played while keeping the bells in hand, and there are suggestions in the performing notes to help handchime choirs with articulations that may not work as well with chimes. Have fun ringing and celebrating during the holiday season. Titles include: "O Come, All Ye Faithful", "Away in a Manger", "On This Day Earth Shall Ring", "Silent Night, Holy Night", and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen".
