HANDBELL MUSIC
Go to cart
l Built on the Rock—arr. Hart Morris. This
challenging arrangement includes hints of
EIN FESTE BURG, making it a great choice for
Reformation Sunday. The first verse proceeds
in the expected 3/4 meter, then moves
smoothly into 6/8 and introduces mallets and
handchimes mixing duple with triple meter. The
final stanza reverts to the original meter, with
mallets driving the bass rhythms to the hymn's
triumphant conclusion.

Built on the Rock—Ludvig M. Lindeman/arr. Alex
Guebert. Advanced choirs will enjoy this challenging

l Called Home to Heaven (Meditation on
HOLY
MANNA)—arr. Fred Gramann. The title comes
from the last verse of the hymn Brethren We Have
Met to Worship, most often associated with the
tune
HOLY MANNA. The line, "Then He'll call us
home to heaven" resonates with those who have
lost children and other loved ones. The fugue-like
second verse is beautifully created, and is followed
by a majestic verse and prayerful conclusion.

Calypso on Sing to the Lord of Harvest
(with For the Fruit of All Creation)—Johann
Steurlein/arr. Tammy Waldrop. Here is a buoyant
setting of the traditional Thanksgiving hymn which
incorporates the Welsh melody associated with the
text, "For the Fruit of All Creation". The syncopated
melody, colorful accompaniment and optional Latin
percussion all combine to depict joyful gratitude to
God for all his blessings.

Cantilene Nocturne—Matthew Compton. Lush
harmonies underscore this beautiful, prayerful
melody. The triplet accompaniment figure gives
way to a more delicately scored melody which
becomes progressively more agitated before the
return of the opening figure. A lovely addition to
your concert or worship service.

Carillon of Praise—Cathy Moklebust. This
energetic, joyous original composition employs
constant eighth-note carillon patterns and
extensive use of LV in a piece that shimmers
from beginning to end. The inclusion of the
hymn tune
LAUDA ANIMA (Praise My Soul, the
King of Heaven) creates a familiar context, and
the optional use of bass chimes in that section
adds richness and variety in sound. Carillon of
Praise will be a sparkling addition to the general
worship, concert, or festival repertoire.
10953793 3-6 Octave with optional
3-5 octaves handchimes. . L3 5.50
Celebration on Duke Street—arr. Karissa
Dennis. Various texts are associated with the
tune DUKE STREET, making this arrangement
a practical choice throughout the church year.
A celebratory opening fanfare is used to tie
together the three statements of the hymn tune.
The first statement is a straightforward chordal
presentation, followed by a lighter version using
handchimes. The final majestic statement uses
malleted and thumb-damped triples as an
accompaniment pattern. Perfect for worship,
concerts, or festival settings.

4 Celebration Praise—Sandra Winter. This jubilant
original piece is as much a delight to ring as it is
to hear. A bold, joyous opening gives way to a
memorable melody filled with both rising and falling
peals reminiscent of tower bells in a belfry. A brief
middle verse gives the melody to the lower treble
bells, allowing them their moment in the sun before
the entire ensemble resounds once more in effusive
celebration. A wonderful addition to any worship,
concert, or festival setting.

4 Celtic Grace—Tammy Waldrop. The Irish tune
SLANE (Be Thou My Vision) is creatively combined

Celtic-style piece suitable for many occasions
throughout the year.

4 Christus Paradox—Alfred V. Fedak / arr. Kirk
Townander. This dramatic arrangement may be
performed alone, but when played with the organ is
both powerful and inspiring. Suggestions for effective
use of handbells with organ are included. The
organ part is included in the choral version: Choral
Variations on PICARDY, product number 5906037. It
is also compatible with the orchestra edition by John
Ferguson. Even without organ, this setting bestows a
compelling and convincing message.

l
The Church's One Foundation—arr. Robert
James Lamb. With shaking and pealing bells, this
arrangement introduces the majestic melody of
AURELIA. The straightforward, powerful first stanza
contrasts with the second stanza that features
(optional) handchimes. The final stanza broadens
and combines the melody with inner pealing bells
into a dramatic chordal finish. Wonderful for worship!

4 Colors of Joy—Brenda E. Austin. As with
joy, handbells can take on many colors. This
arrangement brings out those different colors
through the variety of techniques used to express all
the sounds of the instrument. Easily learned, ringers
and listeners are sure to enjoy the many "colors of
joy" heard throughout the piece.

Come Down, O Love Divine—arr. Sondra
K. Tucker. Sondra Tucker gives us a wonderful
arrangement of this Ralph Vaughan Williams
hymn tune for Pentecost services. Ensembles have
plenty of opportunities to work on dynamics as this
piece moves from piano to a double forte ending.
Chimes are used effectively to highlight the melody
in the middle section, leading to a majestic and
exhilarating ending.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing—arr.
Sandra Eithun. Inspired by the text, "Prone to
wander, Lord I feel it," the opening segment in
this setting creates a quieter, more contemplative
mood. The momentum eventually builds for the
following rousing verse as well as another more
thoughtful verse on chimes. Always anchored by
the well-known hymn tune and surrounded by more
contemporary harmonies, the listener is filled with
a sense of wandering by the end, bringing to mind
the daily reflection to "Bind my wandering heart to
Thee." Moving!

Contemplation on Beautiful Savior—arr.
Matthew Compton. Starting with a peaceful, simple
motif that recurs throughout, this arrangement
gives us a refreshing take on the hymn Beautiful
Savior. With unexpected harmonies and a dramatic
climax, the piece is a representation of life, visiting
emotions of peace, joy, anguish, and eventually
back to Jesus who "shines purer than all the angels
in the sky."

H The Creative Use of Handbells in Worship—
Hal Hopson. This is the first in a planned series
of texts from one of today's leading composers/
arrangers of church music. Mr. Hopson gives
us a wealth of "tried and true" suggestions
taken from his years as a practitioner directly
involved with music for worship. The book is
divided into two main sections entitled Enlivening
Worship Through Handbells and The Creative
Use of Handbells in Hymnsinging. Each section
is filled with useful hints and specific examples
which directors of choirs of any size or level of
experience will find invaluable. Complete with
authorized reproducible pages of bell music, this
is a working manual that every director should
have in their possession.

rendition of the opening material. Originally
