Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1044825 Composed by African-American Spirtitual. Arranged by Mark R. Lewis. Easter,Holiday,Praise & Worship,Spiritual,Traditional. Score. 4 pages. Mark R Lewis #649443. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1044825). Were You There? is a wonderful African-American spiritual especially in the context of Good Friday and Holy Week. The lyrics ask the listener if they were there at Jesus' crucifixion and bring to mind contemplation of what the event would have been like. This arrangement by Mark R Lewis is for 3-5 octave handbell choir and adds handchimes for C5 to C7 as well. The singing bell technique is also utilized. This piece is potentially quite rhythmically challenging as there are many examples of triplet and duplet rhythms happening simultaneously. However, the actual techniques, bell changes, and overall difficulty of the parts is not too extreme, leading to a difficulty rating of 4-. Season: Holy Week, Good Friday Range: 3-5 octave.

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.

Christian,Sacred. Score. 10 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #14705. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953733). God: Our Leader Medley is a 120 measure arrangement for 4-5 octave handbell choir and 3 octaves of OPTIONAL associated handchimes, although the handchime parts can also be played by handbells. The overall theme is the leadership of God in the life of the Christian. This is a medley of 7 Christian hymns. The first 4 are requests---requests to God to lead us. The last 3 are descriptions of God leading us (responses by God). The 1st request is presented by the handchimes playing Savior Lead Me. This is a simple, easy to play section in the key of D. Still in D, the 2nd request is Lead on, O King Eternal. After a false modulation, the 3rd request is Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us. This features a few bass runs. After a modulation to the key of G, the 4th request starts with Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehova. Also featuring some bass runs, it also makes use of descant lines. The 1st response, also in G, is All the Way My Savior Leads Me. This section is not in the original 3/4 time, but in 4/4 time, although near the end it reverts to the normal 3/4. It makes heavy use of fills and a brief descant line. The 2nd response is a 6/4 version of God Leads Us Along in the key of C. Again, there is a brief descant line. The last response is He Leadeth Me, also in C, that features two descant passages, and bass runs in the last two lines. After the first section of the overall arrangement, the chords used are often significantly more interesting than the chords normally used with these 7 hymns. This arrangement uses various dynamic and tempo markings, in order to achieve musical contrast, and still be true to the character of the original hymns. (The MP3 audio demonstration file provided is in a piano patch (voice), although the actual arrangement is for (and, of course, will sound better with a) handbell choir.) This arrangement is probably a level 2+ (2 plus) degree of difficulty.

Handbell - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1191184 Composed by Scottish Folk Song. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Celtic,Folk,Historic,Irish,Standards. Score. 7 pages. Mark R Lewis #790703. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1191184). Barbara Allen is a (likely Scottish) Folk song that has spread all across the English-speaking world. 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: A0.953728 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.

Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1499428). The Pixar movie Inside Out tells the story of the personified emotions of young Riley as she deals with her family’s move to San Francisco from Minesota. “Bundle of Joy” serves as the theme song for the movie and is a recurring motif throughout. The theme also comes back in the sequel Inside Out 2.This arrangement is for 3-5 octave handbell choir with 3-5 octaves of handchimes and transfers the original orchestral, piano, and celeste piece into a pleasing interpretation featuring both bells and chimes. The melody stays in the upper bells for most of the piece with accompaniment switching between chimes and bells at different points throughout. Singing bells occur several times along with syncopations in both the melody and accompaniment. There are a few quick bell changes but overall, this piece is a comfortable level 3 arrangement.

Handbell - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.767674 Composed by Johann Cruger. Arranged by c.e. walz. Holiday,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. C.E. Walz #6081049. Published by C.E. Walz (A0.767674). One of three popular Thanksgiving hymns, Now Thank We All Our God makes a great BEGINNING HANDBELL piece since the melody is primarily all quarter notes. My friend Maestro encourages directors to work on the steady rhythm at a slower metronome reading, around 60 bpm, and working up to 90 bpm. The fermatas should be held for two beats, and there's only one measure that contains any eighth notes. If your players can count, they've got this in a couple of rehearsals, just in time for a Thanksgiving service. There are only 8 bells needed, which means you could cover this piece with only four ringers, two bells apiece. Key of Ab with no key changes, two pages. Performance time: 1:09 minutes.
