Ring the World Around

Settings of eight tunes drawn from world music sources are brought together in this eclectic collection for school or community ensembles.  Written primarily for handchime ensembles, though also quite effective when played by handbells, the titles use no stopped techniques or shakes.  Interdisciplinary opportunities abound on the educational front with history, geography, world culture, and foreign languages.  Purchase of this collection entitles the director to legally reproduce these titles for his or her ensemble.  Well-written, captivating arrangements will be useful for cross-curricular activities for many years to come.
