Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1284588 Composed by American Folk Song and Scottish Folk Song. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Celtic,Folk,Irish,Traditional. Score. 8 pages. Mark R Lewis #875763. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1284588). This lively Sea Shanty Medley is a combination of two different sea shanties, Fish in the Sea from Scotland and Santiana from the Americas.Fish in the Sea is quite simple but has dozens of verses. It takes the form of a chorus that is identical every time and a verse that describes various fish. The idea being that everyone would sing the chorus and each individual sailor would basically ad-lib new lyrics when it was their turn to sing a verse.Santiana actually tells the story of the Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna during the Mexican-American war in the 1840s. However, the various exploits described in the song have very little to do with historical reality. There are of course dozens of version of the song, each associated with different shipping lanes, and there are even a wide variety of shanties from other countries that seem to be adaptations of this tune with different stories.This arrangement by Mark Lewis is for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and makes extensive use of both malleted and normal ringing techniques. There are some very quick transitions between the two techniques. The piece moves along at a pretty good clip with some portions in 6/8 and others in cut time with various duplet and triplet patterns to help with transitions, leading to a difficulty rating of 4+. While the piece should be playable by most intermediate groups, they will definitely need to put in enough practice time to perform it properly.Season: ConcertRange: 3-5 octaves.

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1144887 Composed by American Folk Hymn. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Chamber,Folk,Religious. 4 pages. Mark R Lewis #745203. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1144887). Poor Wayfarin' Stranger is a mournful American folk song discussing how lost the singer feels. While the lyrics were first published 1858 the song is definitely older than that and the original songwriter is unknown. The song has been covered many times by many different artists over the years. This arrangement by Mark Lewis is for bell weaving trio. All three parts are significantly easier if the ringers utilize traveling 4-in-hand techniques and there are some very quick bell changes. While the piece is challenging, most intermediate players should be able to perform it with sufficient practice time.

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1234057 Composed by American Folk Hymn. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Christian,Folk,Religious,Spiritual,Traditional. 4 pages. Mark R Lewis #829593. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1234057). Many people are familiar with the story of how Amazing Grace came into being as a song. The tune New Britain has become so associated with the song that many people do not even know that the lyrics can be put with many other tunes.This arrangement for 12-bell by Mark Lewis does go with the very traditional New Britain, however it is quite unique. Even though this is a 12-bell piece with no bell changes, the arrangement sets the tune in three different tonal centers: F major, Bb major, and the mode of C Dorian. Additionally, verses alternate between the traditional 3/4 time signature and the not so traditional 4/4 meter. The accompaniment to the melody is very active, consisting of running eighth notes or syncopated eighth-note/quarter-note patterns for most of the piece.
