Review:
"Starry Night" combines familiar Christmas melodies ("Silent Night" and "Twas in the Moon of Winter") and weaves in the special techniques of singing bell, echo, vibrato, and malleted suspended bells. Optional wind chimes add to the ethereal atmosphere. Through the creative use of techniques, meter changes from 3 to 4 and back to 3 seem effortless and provide excellent learning opportunities for developing ringers. 88 measures. Keys of G Major and e minor. New for 2022 is the 3-5 octave version.
