Voicing: Handbell 4-6 octaves with Optional Violin
Michael Glasgow (Arranger)
Level 2+ with options for Level 4- • This fun, accessible setting of the ever-popular "Simple Gifts" tune incorporates a hint of the carol "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" in a lilting waltz. The tune often referred to as "Lord of the Dance" is now transformed into a dance! The optional violin or fiddle adds a terrific spark, and an "ossia" line provides an optional challenge for a few ringers who may want to push beyond Level 2+. The two editions are compatible for massed ringing.
