SKU: A0.767673
Composed by 16th century Dutch melody. Arranged by c.e. walz. Folk,Holiday,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. C.E. Walz #4846953. Published by C.E. Walz (A0.767673).This piece could utilize up to 12 members, but usually many members play two bells, so it could be a piece for six ringers. "We Gather Together" is one of my favorite hymns, and I'm sure Maestro would agree that it has a lovely melody. Key of D, two pages, no key changes. Performance time is 1: 25 if you take the repeat, shorter without it. PRACTICE HINT: The dotted quarter note in the melody may be unfamiliar to some beginning handbell ringers. Some clapping exercises with the melody might be helpful. In addition, the second layer (those notes with stems going down) does not play the dotted rhythm. It would be wise to have those ringers practice their smooth, consistent lines before pairing them with the more syncopated melody.
