4e Impressions on Aberystwyth—arr. Matthew
Compton. Beautiful, haunting, and reflective, this
well-crafted arrangement of the Welsh hymn
tune
ABERYSTWYTH will be appropriate for Advent,
Lent, or any reflective time in community handbell
programs. Low chimes are set effectively against
twinkling upper bells, and multi-rhythmic levels
develop as the piece progresses, making this
a challenging and worthwhile addition to the
advanced choir's repertoire.

4e Let Everything That Breathes Praise the Lord
—Cathy Moklebust. This delightful, joyful original
composition is based on the words of Psalm 150.
The main theme is introduced by handchimes and
singing bells, which quickly moves to an exciting,
driving rhythmic section. A more lyric midsection
provides contrast before continuing to a majestic
ending. Various handbell techniques, multi-meters,
key changes, and optional percussion add to the
excitement. A wonderful, inspiring addition to
concert or worship!

4 Lord, I Want to Be a Christian—arr. Mitchell
Eithun. In this beautiful, contemplative setting of the
traditional spiritual, the melody is supported by an
appealing harmony. A thoughtful rendition of I Want
Jesus to Walk with Me played on chimes provides
the center of this arrangement before returning to
the relaxed main theme.

e The Lord's My Shepherd—arr. John A. Behnke.
An original, singable melody unifies three stanzas
of the familiar hymn tune
BROTHER JAMES' AIR. In
the middle section, the melody moves to a minor
key, then the opening melodic material returns once
again to lead into the final triumphant statement.
This compelling arrangement is ideal for the Easter
season as well as general occasions.
11165157 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . . L2 5.25
e Love Divine—arr. John A. Behnke. A bell
motif provides the unifying element of this new
arrangement of the well-known hymn tune
HYFRYDOL. All ringers are kept busy as the piece
builds rhythmically and dynamically from start
to finish. This lovely and regal arrangement is
usable through the church year, in concert, or for
massed ringing.
11166937 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . . L2 5.50
O Love That Will Not Let Me Go—A. Peace/
arr. Patricia Hurlbutt. This lovely arrangement of
the hymn tune
ST. MARGARET is a joy both to play
and to hear. An opening section of rising bell
peals effectively echoes the opening ascending
scale motive of the hymn. Undulating eighth notes
accompany the flowing melody, followed by a
bass melody on handchimes accompanied by the
echo technique on bells. A key change leads to a
grand final verse which slows and eases into a final
delicate chord.

4 O Worship the King (Ye Servants of God)—arr.
Karen Lakey Buckwalter. Fun and energetic are the
perfect words to describe this upbeat arrangement.
With a forceful malleted bass – set in a
3+3+2 rhythm – the beloved melody gets
cast in a new and exciting light before a slower
iteration comes in, set to interesting, intricate, and
unexpected harmonies. The rhythmic feel of the
opening returns to close out the piece in grand
fashion. Be sure to add this to your next concert or
worship service!
11314811 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . L3+ 5.95
l Open Your Ears—Patricia Hurlbutt. This lively
arrangement of a traditional Hasidic tune is a fun
addition for the ensemble looking for something
a little different. Moving from extremely delicate
single melodic lines to thick-textured and complex
multiple melodic and harmonic lines running
simultaneously (often playing different techniques),
this will be a great addition to any program.
11314812 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . L2+ 4.95
e Praise—Fred Gramann. Composed with massed
ringing in mind, this original work lends itself
equally well to being rung by a single handbell
choir. It is in mixolydian mode and will work well to
open a concert or worship service.
11166942 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . L2+ 4.95
4 Prayer for Healing—Michael Helman. This
stirring composition is dedicated to all who
have suffered losses as part of the Coronavirus
pandemic. The simple, haunting melody speaks
of pain and loss, but also of hope and healing.
Handchimes are used throughout for beautiful
musical effect. This is a poignant musical statement
suitable for worship, concert, or memorial use.
Optional 3-5 octaves of handchimes.

4e Rejoice, the Lord Is King!—arr. Matthew
Compton. Built on a rhythmic motif, this
arrangement gives us a fresh and joyous take
on a well-loved hymn. A contrasting middle
section provides a moment of reflection, and a
soaring countermelody carries the piece through
to a rousing conclusion. This piece will provide
a celebratory addition to Christ the King/Reign of
Christ Sunday, Easter and Eastertide, as well as
other times in the church year. It will also make an
excellent concert opener or closer.

l Rejoice, the Lord Is King—Patricia Hurlbutt.
For use on Christ the King Sunday, Easter, or
any general service, this festive arrangement of
DARWALL'S 148TH is as much fun to ring as it is
to hear! Joyous arpeggios give way to a chordal
treatment of the theme, complete with bold and
unexpected harmonies. A key change ushers in a
verse underscored by delicate martellatos before
a verse on the chimes is accompanied by peals
and arpeggios in the treble bells. A final exuberant
flourish ends the piece on a triumphant note. With
optional C4-A5 handchimes, this piece is perfect for
any celebratory moment in concert or worship.
11314814 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . . L2 4.95
4 Ring His Glorious Praise—Patrick W. Meyer.
Exuberant, fresh, and joyous! Crisp, driving
rhythms, frequent syncopations, and bold, exciting
harmonies provide something new around every
bend in this original work. A freely wandering middle
section slowly builds in intensity before a return
to the opening feel and a forceful and satisfying
conclusion. This piece is a real showstopper for the
advanced church or community group!

4e Somebody's Knockin'—arr. Anna Laura Page.
An upbeat setting of the beloved African American
spiritual, this arrangement will be a favorite for
church services, special performances, and school
settings. Through the use of syncopated rhythms,
articulations, mallets and/or mallet clicks, each
verse receives a fresh treatment. Ringers will
have fun while providing an exciting and musical
experience for all.

l Song of Joy (Themes from Beethoven's 9th
Symphony and the Fantasy for Piano, Chorus
and Orchestra)—Sandra Winter. Well-known
themes by Beethoven are combined into an effusive
paean of joy and celebration! Audiences will enjoy
hearing these familiar melodies combined in new
and creative ways, and ringers will appreciate the
fun techniques that abound throughout. A perfect
choice for any festive moment in concert or worship!
11314815 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . . . . .L3- 4.95
4e Spirit Dance (Spring Dance)—Brenda E. Austin.
This original composition sparkles as syncopated
rhythms, shakes, and stopped techniques make
your toes tap, and your feet want to dance. Mallets,
martelatto, thumb damp and shakes bring this song
alive making it a perfect festival or worship opener.
11165152 3-5 Octave w/opt. A2 & opt.

4 Stand Up for Jesus!—George Webb/arr. Mark
Arnold. Mallets - on bells, on tables, on themselves!
- predominate in this fun arrangement of a classic
hymn. The result gives an almost marching-band
feel to the performance, making it as enjoyable to
ring as it is to hear. This is a sure winner that will be
accessible to almost any choir.

4e There Is a Fountain—arr. Lloyd Larson. In this
setting of an old favorite hymn, the treble bells
set the stage with their gentle ostinato against a
lower melody. The melody then moves to the treble
with the bass taking over the ostinato. All combine
for a rich and glorious final verse before ending
peacefully. The violin part, while optional, gives a
lovely Appalachian quality to the hymn tune.

4e There's a Wideness in God's Mercy—
Frederick W. Faber/arr. Karen Lakey Buckwalter.
This tranquil, flowing arrangement is based on the
19th-century American tune
LORD, REVIVE US. The
opening measures consist of an original motif which
is interwoven throughout the piece. Incorporating
the themes of love and mercy, this is an excellent
option for many Sundays throughout the year.
