Julie Turner brings us this fun, yet challenging, piece that paints a musical picture of the well-known Bible story of Jericho. It features plenty of techniques, shifting meters, random ringing... enough to keep even the most advanced of ringers engaged! Written descriptions such as "The trumpet sounds!" and "The march around the walls begins." help ringers to envision what is happening and to know how to express the music. This is amazing storytelling from a fresh new voice in handbells!
