This approachable arrangement of "Joy To The World" by Daniel M. Reck is perfect for an experience handbell musician seeking to expand their repertoire to include bell tree. Indended as ornamental accompaniment to hymn singing, the bell tree solo part features two different verses that compliment this favorite Christmas hymn.
Additional handbell musicians can turn the arrangement into a duet, trio, or quartet, ringing the second part from the table. No duplicate pitches are necessary, and in quartet configuration no table is required for small ensembles making their musical offering in a smaller space.
Musicians assembling a handbell tree for the first time may wish to consider the forzandoArts Heavy Duty Bell Tree Stand and Bell Tree Separator Clips to ease their performance.
