Ringing, Ringing

by Teresa Jennings

This lovely concert piece is not only a partner song, it is also a feature for your bells players. As with most partner songs, part 1 sings the first time, part 2 sings the second time, and on the third time, both parts sing together. The combination of the voices and the bells truly make for sweet harmony.

Since bells are a familiar aspect of the holidays, even though there is no mention of Christmas, this would make an ideal addition to your seasonal performance. Even so, it would certainly work any time you wish to feature bells. We have included an extracted bells part on page 58 for your convenience. As always, you may alter the music any way you like for your purposes.
