This piece is SO beautiful — really wonderful! I do have a question, though — I’m not sure which version is shown in the preview pages, and am not sure which version to order for our handbell choir. We generally play around level 2, plus or minus, and have 3 octaves of bells. the preview pages look like they are for 3 octaves and maybe level 2 — is that right?

Hi Linda!
Thank you for the kind words about Newness!
You’re absolutely right! The review pages for Newness are from the Level 2/3 version. To play at Level 2 play everything, including the chime notes, with bells; to play at Level 3, play the score as written.
The Level 1 version consists of all the notes that are on the beat. It would be possible to play the Level 2/3 version that way, but it’s a lot easier to start with an actual Level 1 score!
Do get in touch if you have any other questions!
Happy Ringing,
Larry
