Processional Joy—Ludwig van Beethoven/
arr. Barbara Brocker. This processional, based
on Beethoven's Ode to Joy, has a bell tree of
six bells playing the melody. Accompaniment
can be either a 2-5 octave bell choir, a 2-5
octave chime choir, or both. Some parts are
simpler to ring, allowing for easier parts to
be given to the "processionally challenged"
ringer. Three of the four phrases are nearly
identical, so memorization is simplified. This
processional in C major can be used in any
season with a small or large choir.

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.

Refuge—Freeman Lewis & Daniel Teasley/
arr. Michael Glasgow. A bluegrass toe-
tapper! Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell
Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival
in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open
and stately 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.
The optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass,
and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be added in
any combination for extra charm!

Remembering—John A. Behnke. An original
piece to remember those who have passed
away due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this
reflective piece has minimal bell changes and
no sharing of bells. The music begins with
a tolling bell, then a melody emerges which
seeks to express the significance of each life
lived, including their struggle with this virus.
Use for All Saints or for a memorial Sunday.

Reverberations—Sallie Lloyd/arr. Jennifer
Fry. This award-winning piece is given new life
and enhanced sound in this expanded revision
of the original four-octave composition! Driving
eighth notes and rich harmonies abound
throughout the piece, which has a very
classical feel overall. A perfect choice for any
ensemble looking to showcase their technique
and musicality!

Ring for the Earth—Chi-hin Leung. The
peaceful theme of this original work makes
use of the rich overtone of the instrument
while the middle section uses handchimes
to create a contrasting section. The
smooth but surprising modulation provides
interesting tone colours that depict the spirit
of harmony in a world of diversity. The use
of LV accompaniment beautifully supports
the engaging melody and invites interpretive
expression throughout. This will be a sensitive
and beautiful addition to your repertoire.

Salut d'Amour—Edward Elgar/arr. Darrell
Richards. This arrangement of an Elgar piano
classic (translation: Love's Greeting) is simple
to learn for most intermediate choirs and
features flowing melodies and lush harmonies.
A sweet piece.

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!

Streams of Life—arr. Jason W. Krug. This
exciting original tune from the pen of Jason
Krug is not to be missed! Featuring alternating
measures of 4/4 and 3/4, the joyful,
memorable melody moves throughout the
ensemble. Frequent interludes take the piece
off in different directions before coming back to
the melody once more. A slower, retrospective
middle section gives a respite before the
driving feeling returns once more to close the
piece out in explosive, festive fashion!

There Is a Happy Land—arr. 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.

Thundersnow is an unusual kind of
thunderstorm, with snow falling instead of rain.
This original tone poem captures the feel of the
gently falling snow becoming more intense, with
lightning and thunder portrayed by creative,
rhythmic malleting, mart-lifts and shakes. The
addition of optional sleigh bells tops it off! This
is an exciting, fresh, creative work which will
delight your ringers and audience!
