arr. Charles Maggs
3 octaves, Level 1
This classic and timeless tune that almost everyone has enjoyed playing on the piano has been set in a fun arrangement that will delight both ringers and audiences. The beginning choir will easily master the recurring rhythmic and harmonic patterns that characterize the piece, while more experienced groups can experiment with the optional stopped-sound techniques. Repeated sections can optionally be left out to provide a shortened, quick changeup in a fall or spring concert, or they can be included for giving the less experienced choir a longer number to perform. A secular concert at any time of year can be highlighted with the addition of this crowd-pleasing selection.
