Review:
This innovative suite for 2, 3, 4 or 5 octaves offers ringers three upbeat pieces, carefully scored for successive learning experiences. "Adoration" (key of D Major - 24 measures) is a bold processional with simple chords. "Leap of Faith" (Key of C Major - 32 measures) is a short happy piece in which everyone gets to mart. "Joyful Praise" (key of Eb Major - 69 measures)is a memorable waltz melody played in all ranges with echoes and thumb damps.
Unison exercises are included to help teach new skills and rhythms. Techniques listed are for all songs. Suite Praise (subtitled Playground Suite with Follow the Leader, Hopscotch and Red Rover) will become a perennial favorite in worship, school, concert and festival settings.
