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).

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.953728 Composed by Anonymous and Ralph E. Hudson. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. Christian,Easter,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #14273. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953728). He Is So Good is a 3-4-5 octave, 45 measure medley of the Christian hymns God Is So Good and At the Cross (Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed) arranged for 3-4-5 octave handbell choirs. Because of the inclusion of At the Cross, this arrangement might be suitable for Easter/Lent. The overall theme is the love of God for us, whether as the Father or as Jesus. The strategy of this arrangement is to start out softly and *very* plainly and build---both in volume and in complexity. From the chorus of At the Cross to the end, a lot of doubling of the melody in the highest bells is used. There are two surprise modulations used in the chorus of At the Cross. In At the Cross there are chords used that are more interesting than those in the original hymn. After the triple-forte volume level at the end, there is a mezzo-piano tag, echoing the melody of the preceding musical phrase, with a chord progression that is substantially different from the original version of this hymn. This arrangement is probably a 3 plus (3+) level of difficulty, with the plus being due to some eighth-note runs in the bass line towards the end of At the Cross. The demonstration audio file provided is in a piano voice (patch) but suffices to demonstrate how the arrangement is generally meant to sound.
