This text is a serious updating of the material in "Joyfully Ring!" and the sequel, "Music Excellence in Handbells." "This book provides a booster shot and a way to supplement, update and verify" the enormous amount of handbell knowledge imparted by Mr. Allured in workshops and seminars.
This textbook is often called the "Encyclopedia of Handbells" by industry professionals. Don Allured, the handbell master himself, has compiled a book of philosophy and practical instruction for use by handbell directors and choirs. The content includes organization; equipment; fundamental and advanced techniques; exercises; bell assigning, etc. All aspects of handbell ringing are discussed by the leading authority of English handbell ringing.
