UPC: 749193022078.This very flexible arrangement of the beloved carol may be played by bells alone, or together with any or all of the optional forces. A handbell peal accompanied by bell tones in the trumpets is featured in the introduction to this sparkling arrangement. Stanza 1 is fully scored, with the choir in 4 parts. Stanza 2 begins with men’s voices accompanied by low brass, with the upper treble handbells playing a lightly thumb-damped, rhythmic countermelody. The women’s voices and high brass then take the lead, accompanied by malleted bass bells. After a brief interlude, stanza 3 features a descant in the soprano voices and bells. A short, optional ending is provided following the final stanza. Since all the additional parts are optional, this arrangement is a versatile addition to the handbell Christmas repertoire.

UPC: 749193027349.Originally written for handbells and harp, this arrangement of the tune Ellacombe can be played by two handbell or handchime choirs, or one handbell or handchime choir with harp or piano. This piece is a duet between the two parts, with each part carrying the melody at different times. This would be a wonderful opportunity to get together with another handbell choir, or to have two choirs at one church play together, one choir playing bells and one choir playing chimes.

God: Our Leader Medley is a 120 measure arrangement for 4-5 octave handbell choir and 3 octaves of OPTIONAL associated handchimes, although the handchime parts can also be played by handbells. The overall theme is the leadership of God in the life of the Christian. This is a medley of 7 Christian hymns. The first 4 are requests---requests to God to lead us. The last 3 are descriptions of God leading us (responses by God). The 1st request is presented by the handchimes playing Savior Lead Me. This is a simple, easy to play section in the key of D. Still in D, the 2nd request is Lead on, O King Eternal. After a false modulation, the 3rd request is Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us. This features a few bass runs. After a modulation to the key of G, the 4th request starts with Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehova. Also featuring some bass runs, it also makes use of descant lines. The 1st response, also in G, is All the Way My Savior Leads Me. This section is not in the original 3/4 time, but in 4/4 time, although near the end it reverts to the normal 3/4. It makes heavy use of fills and a brief descant line. The 2nd response is a 6/4 version of God Leads Us Along in the key of C. Again, there is a brief descant line. The last response is He Leadeth Me, also in C, that features two descant passages, and bass runs in the last two lines. After the first section of the overall arrangement, the chords used are often significantly more interesting than the chords normally used with these 7 hymns. This arrangement uses various dynamic and tempo markings, in order to achieve musical contrast, and still be true to the character of the original hymns. (The MP3 audio demonstration file provided is in a piano patch (voice), although the actual arrangement is for (and, of course, will sound better with a) handbell choir.) This arrangement is probably a level 2+ (2 plus) degree of difficulty.

UPC: 749193009635.4-5 octaves.Christmas.Level 4.This exquisite setting of the familiar Polish carol demonstrates Betty Garee's understanding of the handbell idiom and the writing genius which made her one of our foremost handbell composers. Somewhat impressionistic in style, the use of LV, mallets on suspended bells, scale passages, chromaticism, changing meters, and two-against-three make this piece a must in the repertoire of intermediate and advanced bell choirs. When careful attention is given to the musical details indicated by the composer, this piece will be a moving addition to both concerts and worship services.

Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGB299. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGB299). UPC: 749193008591.This stirring anthem portrays the church at worship: gathering, giving thanks, greeting one another, offering prayers of confession and intercession, sharing in communion, making an offering, and going out together to serve. The bouncy, uneven melodic rhythm and the visual imagery of the text make this an ideal piece to choreograph for dancers and use with banners. Adding wrist bells to the dancers also accents the festive nature of the anthem.

Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #14447. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953730). The First Christmas is an 84 measure, 4-5 octave, handbell choir medley of the Christmas carols: The First Nowell, O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming, and Angels from the Realms of Glory Parts of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming are scored for OPTIONAL 3 octaves of handchimes, but handbells can be substituted, if desired. Those two carol selections are reserved, reverent, soft and slow, in contrast to the first and last selections, which are much more exuberant in nature. This medley varies in tempo, volume levels, and style, throughout. Towards the end, there are tolls (swings) and a shake. It includes a brief introduction and an extended half-timed ending. Occasionally, there are descant lines and bass runs. I believe that this would be a level 2+ (2 plus) arrangement. The MP3 audio file provided is in a piano voice (patch) but suffices to demonstrate how this arrangement is generally meant to sound.

UPC: 749193012970.The well-known Shaker hymn is arranged for double handbell and handchime choir, with the chime part being much easier than the bell part. The first section is gentle and relaxed, and then the hymn takes on a lively, dancing jig character, with malleted rhythmic bass bells and a bouncy, lilting melody. The handbell part can stand alone, and the handchime part may be played by a keyboard instrument if desired.
