Review:
Interesting arrangements for beginning ringers are found in this Ardis Freeman handbell library. "All Creatures of Our God and King" provides a good challenge for reading fourth octave notes, counting in 3/2 time and clean damping in the rests. The back cover gives performance suggestions and an warm-up exercise that helps the ringers understand the music better. Permission is given to copy the exercise on a transparency if so desired. Scored in C Major, this piece is 32 measures.
