playing different techniques), this will be a great

l Rays of Hope—Sandra Eithun.
Throughout all of life's trials, hope gives us the
strength to rebuild and confidently reinvent our
circumstances. This original piece depicts the
remnants of a storm that has passed, and then
gives way to a bouncy theme that conjures
imagery of dancing light. A thoughtful middle
section reminds the listener that uncluttered days
are never a given or soon forgotten. Hope does
return with the theme to round out the ending
of the piece. Techniques such as singing bell,
suspended bells with mallets, thumb damp, and
LV are incorporated. The texture of the piece is
further enhanced by the addition of chime tree,
ocean drum and/or rain sticks, and optional
handchimes, all combining to add interest.

before launching with rhythmic energy into a fun
concert piece with country style. It brilliantly pairs
the Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (I Take
My Refuge in the Lord) with a Daniel Teasley
hymn,
I'VE FOUND A REFUGE. Marts, mallets,
plucks, ring-touches and more are sure to excite
your concert audiences and congregations alike.

guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be added in any
combination for extra charm!

The Sower/Johnny Appleseed—
Kathleen Wissinger. Useful for both school
and church, this lively, original composition
depicts someone taking a lighthearted walk,
scattering seeds along the way. Mallets and
thumb damps set the tone for this airy and
optimistic piece. While in 4/4 meter, a few easy
5/4 and 6/4 measures (allowing time for the
walker to go around a rock) make this a good
learning piece to introduce mixed meter. The
optional woodblock/tic-toc block adds even
more spunk. Fun and festive!

musicality in new and exciting ways!

l There is a Happy Land—Mitchell Eithun.
This simple folk hymn is given a creative setting
that uses a variety of techniques as well as
changes in tempo and dynamics. While all
quarter and half notes, the cut time meter with
some syncopation makes the piece a little trickier
than the level might indicate, but it is worth the
time. Optional percussion makes this a lively
arrangement that is as fun to hear as it is to play.

and technique. A real show-stopper!
