Handbell Music
for Lent & Easter
Ah, Holy Jesus—arr. Brenda Austin. The
introduction immediately draws the listener in with
singing bell techniques, chimes, and suspended
higher bells with mallets. The middle section is the
tune rung with eighth-note accompaniment and
interesting harmonic variations. An interlude brings
us to another key and a stronger stanza. The piece
ends as it began. Very meaningful!
