The earliest known versions date from the 17th century and as with most folk songs, there is considerable variety in the lyrics recorded in various versions. Generally the song tells the story of Barbara Allen and her rejecting the love a young man who is dying.This version is arranged for 3 octave handbell choir and is approximately level 2 by AGHER difficulty guidelines. There are no bell changes and the piece is relatively simple overall, but there are a few times where the rhythms are mildly complex with some ringers playing steady quarter-notes and others playing eighth-note followed by dotted quarter-note patters. The melody is passed between all three octaves and harmony is quite simple for most of the piece.

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.927261 Composed by Anthony Brown and Pat Barrett. Arranged by Clifton Davis. Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Clifton Allen Davis Music, ASCAP #5196585. Published by Clifton Allen Davis Music, ASCAP (A0.927261). Looking for a way to for your handbell choir to include praise music? Good, Good Father (Brown, Barrett), a comforting text about God's goodness, is arranged for 3-5 octaves of handbells. Rhythmic vitality comes for a feeling of 6/8 in the midst of the 3/4 writing. This can be taught to ringers by drilling the bass clef rhythm in measures 35-40 with the I want to be in America rhythm from Westside Story. Although there are no bell changes in this arrangement, interest for the ringers and listeners comes from the variety of techniques including martellato, thumb damps, swings, and mallet work (on the table, suspended, and rolls!). Set a in a key that is comfortable for congregational singing, this arrangement works well with an optional acoustic guitar, bass, and cajon (box drum).
