Review:
The "Alpha Series" is accessible music for 2-3 octaves of handbells of interest to a wide age range. This 5th volume contains: "Morning Has Broken" and "It is Well With My Soul." It follows the same pattern as the others in the Alpha Series; the pieces have some techniques, such as swings and shakes, a little syncopation and a few eighth notes and few, if any, page turns. These pieces could be played on chime or bells.
