8 Bells for Advent—arr. Kathleen Wissinger.
Perfect for two, three, or four ringers, each short
carol is offered in four different ranges depending on
which bells the ringers want to use: C5-C6 for one-
octave groups; D5-D6 to keep space notes in the
left hand; F5-F6 for two-octave groups; and C6-C7
to allow for lighter bells and four-in-hand options.
Play one or all three in worship, concert, outreach
venues like home and hospital visits, fundraising,
on parade floats, and even in flash mobs. Carols
include: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel; Savior of
the Nations and Come, Prepare the Way, O Zion.

I Wonder as I Wander—arr. Arnold Sherman.
Emotionally powerful, this setting captures
the mystery and thoughtfulness of the well-
loved Appalachian carol. Random malleting on
suspended bells creates an ethereal "starry" effect
which gives way to a verse underscored with
flowing and harmonically rich accompaniment. A
key change gives way to a more powerful iteration
of the theme before the piece ends as it began
and gently fades away. This is a beautiful piece for
concert or worship.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence—arr. Mitchell
Eithun. Atmospheric, haunting, yet exciting, this
arrangement of

handchimes in open fifths. After a chordal first
statement, a rhythmic, malleted bass line drives the
middle section. An echo of
COVENTRY CAROL is heard
at the conclusion. Effective in worship or concert.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence—arr. Ron
Mallory. A creative, bold setting with a big, broad
sound, this arrangement will challenge ringers and
audience. Two parts are noticeably more advanced

mastered once the rhythms are established. For
Advent or Lent.

The Moon of Wintertime—arr. Karissa Dennis.
This reflective piece combines Twas in the Moon
of Wintertime with O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,
making it perfect for Advent or Christmas. Echo
and LV make for a warm tone in the chordal and
arpeggio accompaniment while the melody floats
above. The ending encompasses both tunes,
simply conversing to a close on an open chord,
emphasizing the mystery of that holy night.

Prepare the Royal Highway—arr. Patricia
Hurlbutt. Here is a graceful and dance-like setting

piece culminates with a brief passage marked presto.

Redemption—Alex Guebert. Imagine the scene of
a Hebrew woman in exile, soothing her child with a
lullaby. As she awaits the promised Messiah, the
lullaby gives way to the strains of O Come, O Come,
Emmanuel. A sense of urgency builds; "Rejoice!
Rejoice!" resounds as a loud refrain, and as the
promised one arrives, another lullaby is heard. The
two editions for 3 and 4-7 octaves are not identical
but may be played together.

Savior of the Nations—arr. Brenda E. Austin.
This Advent setting is intended to reflect the
wonder and mystery of the birth of Jesus. Conflict
surrounded him from the moment of his birth, and
this arrangement attempts to convey that turmoil
through the use of dissonance. Care should be
taken that the melody is heard above all other
notes. A smooth, legato line should be used for the
entire piece.
