People Look East
This arrangement of the Advent hymn "People, Look East" is ideal for a beginning ensemble or when limited rehearsal time is a factor. Available in compatible settings and rated a level 1+, it includes limited bell changes and an energetic tempo to offer a simple but engaging experience for ringers and listeners. The melody is heard in the treble bells and again in the battery bells giving an opportunity to teach balance between melody and accompaniment.
Another layer of energy is added with the jaunty little tambourine part, making this an exciting addition to any Christmas or holiday service, festival, or concert. The tambourine part is printed with the handbell part and included as a separate page but is not reproducible; please purchase an additional copy for your tambourine player unless they are comfortable playing from the score.
