The Cherry Tree Carol is a lovely part of English musical folklore. This particular version is based on the melody in John Stainer's Christmas Carols New and Old It is arranged for two octave handbells, tone chimes or hand chimes. It is at an 'easy' level, and is a little over one minute long. This is a reproducible product. This piece may be purchased for one performing group, and copies made for the members of that one performing group. Save money and space while allowing for more flexibility in annotating from year to year.

This next part is copy and pasted from my blog: My inspiration for The pianist's Wind Chimes came mainly from Philip Glass. The Philip Glass Etudes are kind of short, but I've been listening to them recently. They are somewhat profound even though they are brief and not that advanced. Of course a piece does not have to be long or hard to be profound. The Minimalist style is a great way for beginner and intermediate piano students to sound excellent at piano recitals. I usually don't think about the title of a piece first. The title came to me as I was working on it. Funnily enough, the title might be the worst part of this piece. I only used the name The Pianist's Wind Chimes because I thought it was a cool name (ha ha ha!). In the middle of The Pianist's Wind Chimes, there is a reference to Beethoven's Fur Elise. The famous first two measures of Fur Elise were part of my inspiration. The notes are sort of different. I didn't want to copy Fur Elise completely. But I did want to make the reference obvious enough. I do wander how many people will recognize the reference. I hope most of them will.

This is an experiment using low bells for the first part and higher bells for the second so there are less ringers required but still using many of the three octave range. This a worshipful arrangement on In The Garden. Plays first on handchimes (optional)  in a lower register, then repeats on handbells in a higher range. The hand chimes can be omitted and played all on handbells. Needs 6 or 7 Ringers
