This blues/rock-style song from Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison is a track included on the album of the same name – Moondance – released in 1969. Sondra has created a wonderfully expressive arrangement of this, taking advantage of unique handbell techniques which perfectly emphasize the gentle, bluesy rhythm and make it great fun to ring, as well!  Techniques include mallets, RT, mart, mart-lift, echoes and, of course, Ring. The engaging melody and overall effect of this setting will bring smiles to the audience and ringers alike! This is definitely a “must have” to add to your group’s repertoire!
