Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day—arr.
Kevin McChesney. This English carol, which
dates from the 1600s, is a predecessor to
Lord of the Dance as the lyrics are spoken
from Jesus' viewpoint and describe aspects of
His life as a dance. Several variations of this
theme with different dancelike qualities take
ringers and listeners through a lovely journey
of Christ's life. Meter changes dictate the
level, as there are few bell changes. Consider
programming this piece as it is beautiful,
musical, and magical.

Ukrainian Fantasy—arr. Marquise Usher.
Here is an amazingly creative and exciting
setting of the Ukrainian folk tune Shchedryk
which will be a fun challenge for your advanced
group. The repetitive ostinato four-note
pattern is present throughout, but there are
unexpected variations that are sure to excite
the audience and keep the musicians focused
on the changing rhythmic patterns. At tempo,
this could be a Level 5; however, reducing the
tempo a few clicks should make it accessible to
solid Level 4 groups.
11405364 3-7 Octave. . . . . . . . . . L4+ 4.95
Volte on The Holly and the Ivy—arr. Matthew
Compton. A volte is a lively Renaissance dance,
and this arrangement certainly fits that definition.
Mixing original material with the melody of the
English carol, this setting involves changes in
meter, creative use of techniques, and overall
joyous energy that will captivate your audience.
Optional percussion (tambourine, sleigh bells,
hand drum, and orchestral chimes) adds to the
Renaissance feel.
