A thoughtful middle section reminds the listener that uncluttered days are never a given or soon forgotten. But, hope does return with the theme to round out the ending of the piece. Techniques such as singing bell, suspended bells with mallets, thumb damp and LV are incorporated. The texture of the piece is further enhanced by the addition of chime tree, ocean drum and/or rain sticks and optional handchimes, all combining to add interest.

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1076419 Composed by R. Kelso Carter. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Praise & Worship,Sacred,Traditional. Score. 7 pages. Mark R Lewis #680575. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1076419). Standing on the Promises is a fun hymn from the mid-1800s. It was written by R. Kelso Carter, a Methodist minister and teacher at the Pennsylvania Military Academy. The tune has a martial feel and has been a standard in many church hymnals since it was written. This arrangement by Mark R Lewis is for 3-5 octave handbell choir. There are very few bell changes but the tempo is quite upbeat leading to some difficulties, especially in the fanfare-like introduction. The arrangement is also in 12/8 which may appear difficult but allows a triplet feel more similar to how most people would actually sing the the dotted-eighth/sixteenth rhythms in the original tune. Most intermediate groups should be able to perform this arrangement with practice. The AGEHR ranking would be level 3.

John Wernega #654086. Published by John Wernega (A0.1049701). Here is a beautiful welsh folk melody that people still recognize today. This is an easy piece for young bell choirs because there is a single-note line in the treble clef accompanied by a single-note line in the bass clef, making it easy for young students to follow. This arrangement passes the melody back and forth between the treble and bass clef, and it has come nice harmonic surprises at the end. It is great for concerts, and since this melody sometimes appears in church hymnals it is also great for a Mass/Service at your church. Your students will love performing this piece!
