Joy to the World arr. Mark Shelton

A classic Christmas Carol arranged for bell trio with the addition of an auxillary percussionist playing tambourine and sleigh bells. Great small ensemble for the holiday season.

PerMus Publications has always been a leader in educational music for percussion. Their new series of bell ensembles will help the elementary and middle school band teacher introduce mallet ensemble playing to their percussion section. It will also help answer the question: “What do I do with these bell kits?’They have approached several of their top composers to arrange ensembles that can be played on the limited range of a standard beginners bell kit. They have come through with several fun and educational pieces. These pieces are also playable on any mallet instrument or can be used with mallet instrument and any “C” instrument. Great for upper strings, flutes and guitars with mallets instruments.
