Review:
This follow-up to our popular first volume of the "Ultimate Christmas Gig Book" for 12 bells will delight your audiences and expand your ultra-portable holiday repertoire! The 16 titles in these book (both sacred and secular) have been ordered to minimize bell changes between pieces. In addition, a master list is included with recommendations for an overall order combining both volumes 1 and 2, again minimizing bell changes and maximizing stylistic variety.
Each piece lists its duration on the first page, allowing groups to tailor their set list to the occasion. Many pieces contain optional repeats, allowing for either a shorter or longer version, as need dictates. Play the pieces in order; cherry-pick your favorites to create a concert that's all your own; or pick individual titles and play one here and one there -- with this collection, the choice is up to you!
With The Ultimate Christmas Gig Book, Volume 2, just grab your bells and some music stands, then head out into the world and make a joyful noise this holiday season!
