Bells,Handbell,Handchime,Piano Accompaniment - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1358777 By Sharon Wilson. By African-American Spiritual, Chester G. Allen, Elisha Albright Hoffman, Fanny J. Crosby, Henri F. Hemy, John Bacchus Dykes, Reginald Heber, Robert Lowry, William H. Doane, and William J. Kirkpatrick. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Children,Christian,Easter,Sacred,Traditional. 96 pages. Sharon Wilson #943238. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.1358777). This collection contains 10 hymns and praise choruses arranged for a one octave, 13-note chromatic scale Handbell choir with Piano accompaniment. For each song, the Piano provides an introduction then the Handbells play the melody and occasional 2-part harmony. Most songs include an optional repeat and second ending in case a longer song is desired. For each song, there is a combined score with both instruments (Handbells and Piano) on a grand staff plus two separate scores for the Handbells (one in standard format with black and white notes and the second with color-coded notes). If the combined score is more than three pages, a separate Piano only score is also provided.A color-coded note chart is also provided for each song which shows the Handbell notes used as well as the number of times each note is played.  The note distribution is helpful when assigning notes to ringers. You may want to assign fewer notes to beginners or evenly distribute the bells between all ringers. On the color-coded score, only filled noteheads (quarter and eighth notes) are used so the notes are full color and easier to distinguish (this does not indicate the bells need to be silenced immediately before the next beat). Also, only quarter rests are used to help visualize the number of beats per measure. As a reminder for beginning ringers, all sharps and flats are displayed (shown in the key of C) on the color-coded score. As noted above, one of the Handbell scores for each song is color-coded for easier note reading for beginning ringers.  These separate color-coded scores use the Chroma-Notes™ Colored Music System.  If you have a set of Handbells with a different color scheme, Chroma-Notes Stick Ons can be purchased and applied so the Handbells match this color scheme. The number of ringers needed will vary depending on the skill level of the participants. For more advanced players, each person could be assigned two or three notes. For beginners, it is best to assign one or two notes to each person. Note assignment suggestions are included for each song and range from 4 to 8 ringers. These familiar hymns and choruses are perfect for small groups and especially beginning ringers. Most songs can be performed with as few as 5 people (4 ringers and 1 piano player). The Piano accompaniment is written for an intermediate player.Permission is granted to make as many copies as needed for one family, church, school, or other performing group. Please purchase additional copies for multiple groups or organizations.Each song is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples. Song titles included in this collection:   Be Still and KnowFaith of Our FathersHoly, Holy, HolyKum Ba YahPraise Him!

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.953729 Composed by Elisha Albright Hoffman, Leila Taylor Morris, Virginia Harmony, and William A. Ogden and Daniel B. Towner. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. Christian,Sacred. Score. 7 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #14567. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953729). Jesus: Savior is a 110 measure, 4-5 octave bell choir arrangement, which also uses 3 octaves of OPTIONAL handchimes, although bells can be substituted for the chimes. It is a medley of the Christian hymns: Are You Washed in the Blood, Let Jesus Come into Your Heart, Amazing Grace! How Sweet the Sound, He is Able to Deliver Thee and At Calvary. The obvious theme is Jesus as Savior, as portrayed in these hymns. There are numerous bass runs, descant lines, and, in the upper bells, doubled melodic lines. The melody is in the bass clef, in the chorus of Let Jesus Come into Your Heart. The harmonies used are often more exotic than those in the original hymn compositions. The shake technique is occasionally used. There is an extra tag ending in the last 2 measures. The MP3 audio file provided is in a piano patch/voice, but suffices to demonstrate how the arrangement is generally meant to sound. This is probably a 3- (3 minus) difficulty rating.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1284426 Composed by Dan McCoy and William Byrd. Contemporary,Early Music,Historic,Renaissance,Traditional. Score. 17 pages. Dan McCoy #875598. Published by Dan McCoy (A0.1284426). Composed in dedication to Prof. Bernhard Klapprott and Prof. Myriam Eichberger as well as their students at the Early Music Department of The University of Music founded by Franz Liszt in Weimar, Germany.During the early 21st century, the Weimar Rathaus, or City Hall, marked each quarter hour by chiming the so-called Westminster Quarters, clearly announced in the opening measures of The Bells of Weimar. This piece is a re-working of Renaissance composer William Byrd's The Bells, which appeared in The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, an important collection of 16th-17th-century keyboard music from England. Byrd's original two-note bell theme, which runs throughout his entire piece, has been replaced with Westminster Quarters in this neo-Renaissance mash-up, altering the ensuing harmonies in a striking way.- from the Preface to the forthcoming collection of music by Dan McCoy entitled, The Weimar Virginal Book, expanded edition (2024).

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.953732 Composed by Oscar Ahnfelt and Charles H. Gabriel, Walter Stillman Martin, and William Henry Monk. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. Christian,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #15171. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953732). God: My Helper, Comforter, Companion, Provider, Protector is a 71 measure arrangement for 4-5 octave handbell choir, and OPTIONAL 3 octaves of handchimes. It is a medley of Christian hymns that deal with some of the attributes of God, as they relate to His followers. Specifically, it includes Abide with Me, God Will Take Care of You, Day by Day and Just When I Need Him Most. It is probably a level 3+ arrangement. The God Will Take Care of You section starts with a duet in the handchimes, with the melody line switching from treble clef to bass clef, in the verse. Of course, handbells can be used instead of handchimes, if desired. In the chorus, martellato is used in the bass clef, while there is a descant going on in the high treble clef, with the melody sandwiched in between. In the last section (Just When I Need Him Most) interesting chords, bass runs and melody line doubling, with chords filled in between the doubled melody notes, build to an ending culminating in a repeat of the last musical phrase, at a slower, more majestic tempo. The first 3 selections are more laid-back; the last is presented in a more energetic fashion.

Handbells handbell choir (3-5 octaves) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: H1.2053DP Composed by William Harold Neidlinger. Arranged by Cynthia Dobrinski. Education, Christmas, Sacred. Handbell score. 8 pages. Hope Publishing - Digital #2053DP. Published by Hope Publishing - Digital (H1.2053DP). By William H. Neidlinger.Original CompositionThe favorite Christmas bell tune is combined with original music to create this fantasy. Lots of techniques and quick ringing will make this fun and challenging for ringers. Major and minor tonalities change hands throughout the work. It is a quick 152 measures long!Although this tune is often associated with Christmas, the original folk story related in the song was associated with the coming New Year, which, in pre-Christian Ukraine, was celebrated with the coming of spring in April. The original Ukrainian title translates to the generous one and tells a tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the bountiful year that the family will have.

Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1144874 Composed by Frederic A. Challinor. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Chamber,Christian,Religious,Sacred. 3 pages. Mark R Lewis #745192. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1144874). Tell Me the Stories of Jesus is a sweet little hymn written in 1885 supposedly at the request of a Sunday school class. The tune is quite simple but still quite lovely. The lyrics were written by William Henry Parker and the tune by Frederic A. Challinor. This particular arrangement by Mark Lewis is for a bell weaving trio. Ringers 1 and 2 will need to be able to utilize travelling 4-in-hand techniques, Ringer 3 will need to be able to keep a very steady waltz pattern going while switching between bells, and all ringers will have some very quick bell changes. While the piece is challenging, most intermediate players should be able to perform it with sufficient practice time.
