MacAllistrum’s March (3-5 octaves handbells)

MacALLISTRUM’S MARCH (With Timbrel And Dance/March/Procession) – Traditional Irish/arr. Kevin McChesney – 3-5 octaves handbells with optional percussion – Level III-

A lively traditional Irish tune is given an exciting treatment in this very accessible setting. Though labeled Level III-, this is an easy Level III and groups accustomed to playing Level II music will find this very approachable. Because of the repeated patterns, this is a good possibility for a processional. Terrific for concert, and certainly a strong choice for worship as well when retitled with the suggested alternate titles or another title of your own. For variety, add a drum or tambourine in quarter/eighth rhythm.
