Jesus Is Calling—arr. Mitchell Eithun.
After opening with delicate air malleting,
the main hymn tune
THOMPSON is rung as a
straightforward hymn. Optional one-octave
handchimes take the melody in the second
verse while bells play Amazing Grace around
it. The melody moves to the bass line for the
third verse, with treble bells offering a light,
syncopated accompaniment. The piece ends
as gently as it began, making this arrangement
perfect for quiet moments in your service
throughout the year.

The King of Love My Shepherd Is—arr.
Brian Childers. Beautiful and flowing, this
arrangement of ST. COLUMBA for bells and
chimes highlights the beauty of the timeless
tune. Ringers will enjoy this soothing,
expressive setting, but will be challenged by
short phrases of duple eighth notes against
triplet eighth notes and arpeggiated, sixteenth
note patterns. Careful attention to dynamic
contrasts is crucial, especially in the middle
section where the chimes play a gentle chordal
accompaniment while the upper bells play the
simple melody.

Lift Up Your Heads—arr. Sondra K. Tucker.
The tunes
TRURO and STUTTGART combine into a
joyous song of praise! A straightforward opening
in 4/4 gives way to a driving section in 7/8
where handchimes take the
TRURO melody for a
verse before the piece moves back to 4/4 for an
expressive setting of
STUTTGART. The melodies
combine for a verse before returning to the
energetic 7/8 meter to round the piece out in
grand fashion! Use for Palm Sunday, Easter, or
any festive service throughout the year.

with martellato accents at the end of each
phrase. The middle verse moves to 4/4,
with the melody rung in the bass with treble
bell accompaniment. For the last verse, the

Meditation on Prospect—arr. Karen Lakey
Buckwalter. An arrangement for handbells with
optional piano, this hymn tune may be found in
hymnals under different titles such as Creating

middle section contains original material
which segues into a more expansive chordal
treatment of the tune and then ends with a
return to the restful treatment of the opening.

stewardship, Holy Trinity, and the Holy Spirit.

PACEM,
this beautifully moving musical work is
easily accessible to Level 2+/3- groups and
equally wonderful for advanced groups since
expression is critical to the most meaningful
playing of this music.

4:1-11 and beautifully reflects that scripture.

performance or simply used as interpretive

alone, but the addition of percussion enhances
the dynamic of the piece. Handchimes (3-4
octaves) and alternate bells (D5-E6) add
texture and emphasize the countermelody.

cymbal, wind chimes, tam tam (gong), snare,
tambourine, ratchet, triangle. Percussion 2
part: orchestra chimes, triangle, glockenspiel.
