This set of Cohan tunes was arranged particularly for school or community chime groups. With that in mind, no handbell specific techniques were employed.

The set includes: Yankee Doodle Boy • You're A Grand Old Flag • Give My Regards To Broadway • 45 Minutes From Broadway and Mary's A Grand Old Name.
