Here is an original composition written with simple rhythms and very few bell changes, allowing ringers to learn it quickly. The faster tempo, changes in dynamic levels, and frequent use of stopped sounds, provides energy and excitement. Upbeat and fun, you’ll find this a lively addi-tion to both church services and concerts.

This reflective piece combines “’Twas in the Moon of Winter-time” with “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” making it perfect for Advent and Christmas. Echo and LV make for a warm tone in the chordal and arpeg-gio accompaniment while the melody floats above. The ending encompasses both tunes simply conversing to a close on an open chord, em-phasizing the mystery of that holy night.

Setting for Handbells by Arnold B. ShermanArranged by Joel Raney
Traditional English Carol
COME CELEBRATECynthia Dobrinski
98
These 40 easy hymn accom-paniments are designed to en-hance and heighten the power of hymn singing in worship by adding the brilliance of hand-bells. Each of the hymns are arranged in two settings to be played with the organist or pianist. Setting one encom-passes the full 3-5 octaves with chordal accompaniment, while the second version is for treble clef only in a des-cant/ostinato style – played in octaves. With “easy-to-learn” as their top priority, many of these can be played without a bell table.
This Advent setting is in-tended to reflect the wonder and mystery of the birth of Jesus. Conflict surrounded him from the moment of his birth, and this arrangement attempts to convey that turmoil through the use of dissonance. Care should be taken that the melody is heard above all other notes, and a smooth, le-gato line should be used for the entire piece.
2337 3-5 oct. ............................................. $4.95
Beginning and advanced choirs alike will be delighted by this upbeat and joyous Christmas offering. There are very few bell changes, but excitement abounds with a malleted section and a few well-placed shakes and other staccato techniques.

This Hal Hopson classic is ap-propriate for services where “love” is the theme and is es-pecially useful for weddings. The text on love is welcome at any time of year. The fa-miliar words are a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13 and the haunting tune is based on the traditional English mel-ody, O WALY WALY. With this release, we offer a new SATB setting in the key of G with an optional 3-5 octave, Level 2 handbell accompa-niment.

Starting with a peaceful, sim-ple motif that recurs through-out, this arrangement gives us a refreshing take on the hymn, “Beautiful Savior.” With unexpected harmonies and a dramatic climax, the piece is a representation of life, visiting emotions of peace, joy, anguish, and eventually back to Jesus who “shines purer than all the angels in the sky.”

This composition comes from the French Canadian com-poser, André Gagnon, known for his fusion of classic and contemporary styles, and is set here by Manami Takada, our newest arranger from Kanaga-waken Japan. The setting is for 4-5 octave handbells with an option to add a separate 4-5 octave handchime choir or synthesizer.

This Quick Study Choral is easily learned and has a simple accompaniment pro-vided by six handbells. The exquisite hymn melody is presented in a simple three-stanza form with a minimum of parts singing, and the transparent bell accompa-niment gives it an effective, chant-like feel.

Bringing together a beloved hymn with a praise and wor-ship classic, this setting for piano and Level 2, 3-5 octave handbells creates an entic-ing interplay between all the elements. After introducing both selections, the two in-struments join together and pair the two hymns in an enchanting back and forth dialogue.
