Review:
This easy setting of the tune, THE ASH GROVE, features full chords and bold harmonies and may be rung on handbells or handchimes. The melody moves throughout the ensemble, giving all ringers the chance to shine. It will find a place in both worship and school settings, as it is based on a delightful folksong which is associated with several hymn texts. This arrangement is also found in the collection, “Across the Pond.” Compatible versions for 2-3 octaves or 3-5 octaves make this an ideal choice for massed ringing.
