2 or 3 octaves handbells - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: C7.CGB847 Composed by Bill Ingram. Arranged by Bill Ingram. General. Score. 4 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGB847. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGB847). UPC: 749193020043.Printed in a non-traditional 4-staff format, Air in D is a creative setting of a J. S. Bach instrumental favorite. The bottom staff is for the malleted bass line, mimicking pizzicato cello. The middle two staves carry the rest of the accompaniment, played on chimes. The top staff is the melody, played by a few ringers or a solo instrument. An assignment scheme for 13 ringers is suggested. Air in D would be a lovely addition to any worship service or concert. You might want to let your ringers hear a recording of the orchestral original version, then take the opportunity to teach ringers the three functional orchestral sections (melody, bass line, and accompaniment). Such an experience can present a great moment of understanding for the group. Similarly, after hearing the contours of Bach's soaring melody sensitively shaped by violins, ringers will aspire to a higher level of musicality.

Handbell,Instrumental Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1196883 By Duke Ellington. By Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington. Arranged by Paul W. Allen. Historic,Instructional,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 12 pages. Allen/Myer Musicals #796040. Published by Allen/Myer Musicals (A0.1196883). This originally orchestral vocal standard was made popular by Duke Ellington and collaborators Billy Strayhorn, Adelaide Hall (who, while offstage, hummed an obligato while the band played the selection on-stage), and ostensibly Cab Calloway.  Research into the development of this tune is confused.  Both Calloway's and Hall's lyrics can be found, but there is no information where the words go.  In most recordings the singer, if present, lyricizes syllables rather than words.  In any case, this handbell arrangement catches the spirit of the standard, which was rife with instrumental improvizatiolns; some improvization is scored here.  The price listed allows you ten (10) copies of the handbell score.

Handbell,Instrumental Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1192214 Composed by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Paul W. Allen. Historic,Instructional,Standards. Individual part. 11 pages. Allen/Myer Musicals #791681. Published by Allen/Myer Musicals (A0.1192214). The movie Star Spangled Rhythm featured many standard swing hits including this upbeat tune.  In the movie, it was a love duet sung very quickly between Mary Martin and Dick Powers, followed by an even lively African-American quartet trying to get the couple out of the bar and to their rooms so the place can be closed for the night.  In the intervening time, the tune has been re-established as a lullaby at a much slower tempo, which this arrangement replicates.  Here it is cast for a full 6-octave handbell choir, with or without voice, and has among other distinctions the unresolved closing chords.  This is a sure hit for ringers and audiences.  You may purchase 10 copies of this arrangement for the price listed.
