HANDBELL MUSIC
Handbell Music
for Advent
l 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.

Christmas Is Coming—Joel Raney. If the Blues
Brothers were to write a Christmas anthem, it
might sound something like this, accompanied
by piano, handbells, electric guitar, bass, and
drums. The text begins: "Christmas is coming let
the church bells ring!" And they do! The middle
section incorporates a traditional styling of O
Come, O Come, Emmanuel before returning to the
opening music. FUN! UNIQUE!

Four Advent Hymns for Twelve Bells—arr.
Sandra Eithun. This collection of hymn arrangements
is perfect for those times when you are shorthanded
for musicians or would like to travel with a small
group. Each piece uses only twelve bells, spanning
F5 to C7, and includes suggested assignments for
each bell. Because not every piece is in the key of
F, this collection offers a wider variety of harmonic
possibilities while still maintaining a small number
of ringers. Tunes include:
JEFFERSON; PICARDY; VENI
EMMANUEL
and FREU DICH SEHR.

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.

l Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence—Picardy/
arr. Mitchell Eithun. Atmospheric, haunting, yet
exciting, this arrangement of
PICARDY begins
and ends with handchimes in open 5ths. 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.

l 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
than the others in difficulty, though they are soon
mastered once the rhythms are established. For
Advent or Lent.

The Moon of Wintertime (with O Come, O
Come, Emmanuel)—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.

4 Prepare the Royal Highway—arr. Patricia
Hurlbutt. Here is a graceful and dance-like
setting that alternates between a lilting 3/4 and
a sprightly 6/8. Two key changes highlight these
shifts, and the piece culminates with a brief
passage marked presto.

l 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 (with Come with O
Come, O Come, Emmanuel)—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.
