Composed by Foundery Collection, John Bacchus Dykes, Traditional English Melody, and and William A. Ogden. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. Christian,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #7477. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953714).

The Power of the One is a 67 measure, 4-5 octave medley of Christian hymns whose unifying theme is the Power of the (One) God. This medley is comprised of I Sing the Mighty Power of God, Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above, Eternal Father, Strong to Save (The Navy Hymn) and He Is Able to Deliver Thee. The first two of these hymns are upbeat, and include some melody doubling into the highest octave. Those two and the last hymn make use of occasional descant lines. He Is Able to Deliver Thee is very lively, and utilizes both an occasional descant line, and (fairly fast) bass runs. In between Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above and He Is Able to Deliver Thee, you have the slower, and much more reverential Eternal Father, Strong to Save (also known as The Navy Hymn), which uses handchimes, although bells can be substituted for the chimes. This selection helps add a contrast in style, tempo and volume to the other three. At the end, there is a tag consisting of the last part of Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above at a slower tempo, and at a triple forte dynamic level, for a grandioso ending. The fast bass runs contribute to my thinking that this arrangement is probably a 3+ difficulty level.

Pricing- @$15- download 15 copies for the same choir. For some reason, the title does not hint to the presentation of this piece. This is more like a joyous processional! Perhaps it is the dotted quarter and eighth notes that give it a lilt. Perhaps the modulation up to the next key helps too with plenty of bell techniques. The Chorale is attributed to Hayden and Brahms.

Composed by Thesaurus Musicus, 1744. Arranged by c.e. walz. Folk,Holiday,Instructional,Patriotic,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. C.E. Walz #3234707. Published by C.E. Walz (A0.767636).

The patriotic tune America (My country 'tis of thee...) is arranged here for a BEGINNING HANDBELL CHOIR. All notes fall within one octave:  G4 - F#5. Practice suggestion:  begin at a slow steady pace, around 60 bpm, and work up to 90 bpm. For school, church, or civic organizations. 

My friend Maestro had two suggestions for arranging handbells for beginners:  use a familiar melody with the lyrics included (this helps beginning musicians follow along) AND make sure all rhythms follow that melody (there are no extra passing tones to throw players off the beat). I always follow Maestro's musical advice. His fashion advice, not so much!  Key of A, two pages, 1:00 minute performance time.

Level 4 • Written for the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble, this celebratory composition is suitable for concerts, festivals, and worship services. Using the Mixolydian mode, the piece opens with an antiphonal fanfare followed by a stately melody. If desired, these opening measures may be used as a processional. The second half combines a jubilant melody with a timpani-like mallet accompaniment in the bass. More fanfare flourishes, punctuated with the martellato technique, lead into the coda and bring back the bold music of the opening measures.
