This setting of the Ode to Joy is joyful, indeed!  Set in a lively 12/8, the piece passes through several moods and keys before coming to a festive conclusion.  The solo part is accessible for most ringers, but for those soloists looking for an extra challenge, the option to play a belltree descant on part of one verse is also included, making this setting even more versatile.  Both the solo part and the piano part are included in the folio.  An MP3 accompaniment track is also available to provide practice or performance options.
