Three Tunes For Six Ringers, No. 1—arr.
Linda Lamb.
BEACH SPRING, KINGSFOLD,
and O WALY, WALY are uniquely set for six
ringers in this edition. While most music
for six ringers employs a two-octave set of
handbells, these tasteful pieces have been
scored for three octaves for greater depth of
sound and richer harmonies, where the bass
clef handbells are divided between the two
bottom ringers. Stem direction determines
which ringer rings which handbell. The
extra bells make the arrangements slightly
more challenging, but the results are worth
it! Volume 2 adds more beautiful settings in
the same manner as the first, with settings of
ST. GEORGE WINDSOR, HYFRYDOL, and ST.
LOUIS
(quoting STILLE NACHT).
