Level 3 * This spirited arrangement includes a great walking bass line for the bass bell ringers, along with gyros, shakes, and lots of malleting for all. The final stanza includes some sticking as in a soft shoe dance, with the mallets both playfully striking the foam and clicking together. In a short, solemn middle section, In the Garden is rung on handchimes, both providing contrast and reminding us of the varying emotions of life's journey and of God's presence through them all. This arrangement will be a great choice for worship, concert, and festival use.

This calm, meditative original composition directly reflects the text of Psalm 121 in a lyrical style, with gentle, flowing rhythms and sweeping melodies. The words of the Psalm are printed along with the music, so ringers and directors will be able to relate the music to the text, thus enhancing interpretation. Although the organ and handchime parts are optional, they lend a beautiful richness and fullness to the sound. This piece is appropriate for Lent or times when themes of hope and strength are the focus.

Uplifting and sweet, this arrangement of The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want (BROTHER JAMES’ AIR) makes use of stirring crescendos and orchestral-sounding sweeping musical lines.  The quiet waters of the Psalm 23 text are reflected in the shimmering, peaceful first verse.  The second verse gains momentum (My soul He doth restore again) and the powerful crescendo into the third verse brings a confident sense of peace (Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale / yet will I fear no ill).  At the final cadence, ethereal, unusual harmonies give way to a serene resolution, symbolizing heaven as a final resting place, calling to mind the last lines of the text: and in God’s house forevermore / my dwelling place shall be.  The optional flute part sweetens the lovely soft sections and adds flourish and weight to the majestic third verse and coda.

A bright, dance-like setting of the German carol. The tune is cleverly laced between layers of rhythmic decoration, followed by a change in dynamics and tempo with the introduction of Greensleeves before returning to the opening melody.
