"Spring Meadow" introduces a 5-ringer ensemble (D5–F6) to the most common patterns in 6/8 meter. Four short exercises on the back page provide drills on each pattern by itself and in combination with the other patterns. Even though the 6/8 meter classifies "Spring Meadow" as Level 3, this original composition is not difficult. There are no bell changes. Handbells highlight the brightness of a beautiful spring day. Key of D Major. 43 measures.
