John Riggio has a real knack for doing settings of Christmas songs that really grab the attention of young players. They are fresh and contemporary and stand the test of time. His unique arrangements for recorders and Boomwhackers® have become classics and are used time and again by the teachers who own them. That's why we wanted John to create this collection for bells.
The collection features six favorite carols and Christmas tunes in settings designed for featuring young bell players. Each song has a part that uses the diatonic bells, though some songs have extra, yet compatible parts for chromatic, one-octave bells.
Songs include:
Carol Of The Drum
Deck The Halls
Good King Wenceslas
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
Joy To The World
O Come All Ye Faithful
If you've never used bells with your students, they are fun and add a special feel to any performance. This is a great collection to use this Christmas and for years to come!
