Review:
"Mosaic: Folk Songs of Canada" was chosen by the Handbell Musicians of Canada as their selection for the 19th International Handbell Symposium in Hong Kong in 2020. It features five Canadian folk songs: "Flunky Jim", "Feller from Fortune", "Red River Valley", "Ho Ho Watanay", and "Vive la Canadienne". Each of these unique tunes has been creatively arranged into this engaging collection. (Lyrics to these folk songs are included.)
A variety of techniques - mart, mallet, SB, Sk RT and more - plus the addition of wood block, large hand drum, and spoons make this a fun and interesting work for everyone, Canadian or not!
