Arranged By: Douglas E. Wagner
Octaves: 2-3 oct. Handbells or Handchimes
Level: 2
Season: General

Settings of eight tunes drawn from world music sources are brought together in this eclectic collection for school or community ensembles. Written primarily for handchime ensembles, though quite effective when played by handbells also, the titles use no stopped techniques or shakes. Interdisciplinary opportunities abound on the educational front with history, geography, world culture, and foreign language. Purchase of this collection entitles the director to locally REPRODUCE these titles for his or her ensemble. Well-written, captivating arrangements, and an unbelievable bargain!
