Pathways to Musical Ringing Vol 3: Meters

If you’ve ever wanted to take your ensembles into repertoire that goes beyond simple meters, this collection will help remove the fear and allow your ringers to feel more at ease when encountering music that incorporates compound or complex meters. Following in the success of their previous volumes in the Pathways to Musical Ringing series, Sandra Eithun and Michael Joy continue with Volume 3, offering music that teaches specific musical elements (in this volume, Meter), encourages success, and fosters growth in musicianship. These pieces are short and offer repetitive patterns to ingrain the “feel” of the meter being highlighted. The pieces have been carefully written and/or arranged from folk, classical and sacred repertoire in order to approach the teaching of meter sequentially. Titles include: O Sinner Man; Arioso; In Dulci Jubilo; Trumpetings; Time Will Tell; Peace Like a River; Gentle Wind; Winter Poem; Morning Has Broken; Joyous Acclamation
