Spiritual Bells
by Karl HitzemannHandbells are fun to play. And they're a great way for young musicians to master skills in ear-training, music reading, and ensemble playing. That's why we thought it was a great idea to combine handbells with these six well-known African American spirituals. That way kids can have fun performing and learning about some of these very important and historic songs.
Using the diatonic bells, the tunes are in settings that are designed to feature young bell players. And of course, these arrangements will work with any type of pitched percussion instruments, such as Boomwhackers®.
