Description

“Upbeat!” is exactly that! A lively piece that features….upbeats! Carefully and clearly scored for “new-to-8th-note” ringers, this jaunty piece is easy to ring yet sounds big and complex, so even more established groups will enjoy ringing it as well. The sprightly melody is played in all ranges. Two non-compatible score formats allow full ringer participation according to the bell range and number of ringers available: Score “B” (3 or 5 oct., Level 2-) features 8th note pairs that are always set within a single ringing position (both notes are played by one person), making them easier to play (Level 2-). Score “A” (2 octaves, Level 2) is set in a different key to accommodate the smaller range, shifting these 8th note relationships around; so two ringers might share ringing responsibilities for the two 8th notes within a beat (a slightly more complex skill – making Score “A” Level 2).
