Take the A Train

Review:      Hart has worked his musical magic making this Billy Strayhorn hit into a fantastic setting for handbells that would impress Strayhorn himself! The creativity in placement of stopped sounds, featuring the melody in different voicings, judicious use of marts, mart-lifts, and shakes all combine to make this into a must-have title for your bronze group.

The rhythms are tricky but clean execution of the RT and precise damping will make this sparkle. Jazz chords and accidentals abound yet this is totally accessible for advanced groups. This is sure to become a favorite addition to your group's repertoire.
