Description

The “Alpha Series” is accessible music for 2-3 octaves of handbells of interest to a wide age range. It follows the same pattern as the others in the Alpha Series; the pieces have some techniques, such as swings and shakes, a little syncopation and a few eighth notes and few, if any, page turns. These pieces could be played on chime or bells. This joyous version contains: “Joyful Canticle” (originally by Lowell Mason) and “Hymn to Joy” (“Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee”).
