Behnke's new rendition of "Rise Up Shepherds and Follow" amusingly combines "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with the title melody. Ringers will enjoy snapping their fingers and playing a great malleted bass line and dotted rhythms in this jazzy new arrangement of the Christmas spiritual. Audiences across the board will find this 76-measure piece peppy and fun to hear. It is scored in C Major. Note: This piece is best played without gloves so ringers can snap their fingers when indicated.
