Review:
This imaginative arrangement of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" takes ringers and audiences on a musical journey around the world. Featuring 21 different handbell techniques, it begins in America, travels through Asia and Europe, and arrives with the excitement of Broadway. Both an excellent resource for learning and reviewing techniques and a delightful concert piece, this setting will entertain performers and listeners alike.
