Composed by Thesaurus Musicus, 1744. Arranged by c.e. walz. Folk,Holiday,Instructional,Patriotic,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. C.E. Walz #3234707. Published by C.E. Walz (A0.767636).The patriotic tune "America" ("My country 'tis of thee...") is arranged here for a BEGINNING HANDBELL CHOIR. All notes fall within one octave: G4 - F#5. Practice suggestion: begin at a slow steady pace, around 60 bpm, and work up to 90 bpm. For school, church, or civic organizations.
My friend Maestro had two suggestions for arranging handbells for beginners: use a familiar melody with the lyrics included (this helps beginning musicians follow along) AND make sure all rhythms follow that melody (there are no extra passing tones to throw players off the beat). I always follow Maestro's musical advice. His fashion advice, not so much! Key of A, two pages, 1:00 minute performance time.
