Get on Board, Little Children
arr. Greg Gilpin & Martha Lynn Thompson.
This charming handbell arrangement of Get on Board, Little Children is
based on Greg Gilpin's spirited and fun choral setting of the traditional
spiritual. In the handbell arrangement, the accompaniment makes
extensive use of bells malleted on the table reminiscent of a train on the
tracks, while the melody is rung above. A train whistle is optional, but
adds such a fun element to the arrangement. There is a key change
in the middle, but it shouldn't cause any "train wrecks!" The 3 octave
version is as musically satisfying as the 4 or 5 octave versions. Ringers
and audiences of all ages will enjoy this lively piece.
