Ding Dong Merrily on High

Martha Mier takes this famous French carol and infuses it with ringing bells shifting between players. Descending one octave scales written as melodic ostinato patterns make this joyful arrangement very accessible for players at a mid-Book 3 method level. The key of C Major allows for easy reading for both primo and secondo players. Solid half note and whole note harmonies in the left hand allow less experienced players to focus on the flowing, rhythmic melody.
