Josef Haydn/Charles Maggs
3/4 octaves, Level EM
Haydn's simple, stately composition is a good choice for the ringer that is new to small ensemble ringing. The work's homophonic nature and basic rhythm patterns help less experienced small ensemble ringers to perform the piece with confidence, while the contrasting dynamics and interplay of the short eighth note passages between players will help to stretch their abilities. The music is suitable for church or secular use.
