"Greensleeves Rhapsody" is arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional B-flat or C solo instrument, bass, triangle and wind chimes. This interesting take on a familiar tune is sure to challenge your ringers this holiday season. An opening swing section with jazzy harmonies gives way to a more flowing iteration of the theme before returning once more to the beginning jazzy feel. Optional parts for percussion, string bass, and B-flat or C instrument round out the jazzy sound and bring a new dimension to the piece. 87 measures. Keys of c minor and g minor.
