The memorable melody of Springs of Joy consists of 8th note arpeggios, supported by waltz bass and intruiging harmonic shifts. The B section offers a new key, an equally-compelling melody in the bass, and thumb-damped chords in the treble. Reminiscent of a Chopin waltz, the open scoring of Springs of Joy will challenge your ringers to play the melody smoothly, and it is perfect as an uplifting moment in worship or a sprightly addition to concert or festival repertoire. A smaller ensemble (8 ringers on 3 oct. or 9 ringers on 5 oct.) might welcome the challenge of ringing paired 8th notes (a performance concept taught by both Kathleen Wissinger and Carlos J. Avila Baez at conferences); instructions for this method are included in the score. This light-hearted, original piece is dedicated to Carlos for his inspiration.

Lots of fun techniques make this lively Caribbean song come alive! Ben's addition of bongos enhances the exuberance of this popular communion hymn. It's a great festival piece, too, with lots of teachable moments.
