Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.927261 Composed by Anthony Brown and Pat Barrett. Arranged by Clifton Davis. Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Clifton Allen Davis Music, ASCAP #5196585. Published by Clifton Allen Davis Music, ASCAP (A0.927261). Looking for a way to for your handbell choir to include praise music? Good, Good Father (Brown, Barrett), a comforting text about God's goodness, is arranged for 3-5 octaves of handbells. Rhythmic vitality comes for a feeling of 6/8 in the midst of the 3/4 writing. This can be taught to ringers by drilling the bass clef rhythm in measures 35-40 with the I want to be in America rhythm from Westside Story. Although there are no bell changes in this arrangement, interest for the ringers and listeners comes from the variety of techniques including martellato, thumb damps, swings, and mallet work (on the table, suspended, and rolls!). Set a in a key that is comfortable for congregational singing, this arrangement works well with an optional acoustic guitar, bass, and cajon (box drum).
