Pathways to Musical Ringing Vol 1: Articulations and Special Techniques

Sandra Eithun and Michael W. Joy have created the Pathways to Musical Ringing series in order to offer music that teaches a specific musical element (in this volume, Articulations), encourages success, and fosters growth in musicianship. These pieces have been carefully written and/or selected from folk, classical and sacred repertoire in order to spotlight particular techniques and articulations that are unique to handbells. All pieces in the collection are appropriate for church, school or festival settings. As an additional benefit for beginning ensembles, all of the selections have no page turns, with the exception of “Berceuse”. Titles include: Agincourt Song (O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High); Armenian Lullaby; Berceuse; Blow Ye Winds (Winds of Morning); The Blue Danube; Kum Ba Yah, Mist and Fog (Meditation); Mixolydian March (Festive Fanfare); Shimmering Reflections (Gentle Praise); The Trout
