Together As One—Jason Krug. This original
piece has a strong melody and is filled with
rhythm and energy which is emphasized by
well-placed marts and mart-lifts. It segues to
TD treble which supports the melody in the
mid-octaves then adds handchime support
to the bass melody. Perfect for worship or
concert, this piece nicely features every octave
of the bell and chime range - ringers will love
it! Winner of Area 2 2021 Festival Conference
Composition Contest.

Valse Gracieux—Michael Mazzatenta.
This lovely original work has an engaging
melody that truly evokes visions of a graceful
waltz. Variations on the melody are rung on
handchimes in a lovely minor section which then
returns to the F-major key with more variations
on the original melody and accompanying
chords where echoes and TD add a nice touch.
This sweet piece would be lovely for weddings
and concert and can be re-named with with an
alternate title for use in worship.

Valse Grazioso—Betty B. Radford. As the
title suggests, this gentle original composition
is waltz-like and dainty. With expressive rubato
sections throughout, performance notes are
included to ensure the maximum effect and
interpretation of the flow and movement of the
music. Ringers will enjoy the challenges and
nuances contained in this well-crafted piece
which was chosen as the winner of the 2019
Fred Merrett Award for New Compositions.

Voices—Karen Lakey Buckwalter. This
original piece becomes a voice for change
when used with the poem provided. The
music begins with haunting harmonies and
open voicings that create a yearning feel. This
section repeats throughout the piece, allowing
for the "Do you hear the voices" narration to be
heard. In between, a lovely, almost hymn-like
original melody is developed and explored in
reaction to the readings. From introspection
to assertion, this is an excellent choice for
the group looking for something different to
provoke thought and challenge musicality.

Wade in the Water—arr. Dave Baker.
This favorite traditional spiritual has been
given fresh treatment in this rhythmic and
engaging arrangement. Techniques include
shakes, mallets, TD, mart, mart-lift, and RT.
Low bass is featured in a 'call-and-response'
section. This is appropriate for worship or
concert and will become a great "go-to"
piece for your group.

Waltz No. 2—Dimitri Shoshtakovich/arr.
Gina Marie Williams. This lovely waltz from
Shostakovich's Suite No. 2, sometimes
called, Jazz Suite No. 2 for Jazz Orchestra,
will be a perfect addition to your group's
repertoire! It dances throughout with a
mixture of ring, pluck or mallet in the
accompaniment, and features the delightful
melody in both handbells and handchimes
(3 octaves). Snippets of countermelody
in the high bells and interesting inner
voices plus occasional RT keep the interest
alive throughout. This is certain to be an
audience favorite!

Wellerman—arr. Kathleen Wissinger. This
jaunty arrangement of the TikTok sensation will
be crowd pleaser for sure. Two incompatible
scores are included in the folio: score A is
Level 2 for two octaves, and score B (more
complex) is Level 3 for 3-5 octaves. A quick
tempo in cut time is the main reason for the
higher rating. Neither score has bell changes,
bell sharing, or techniques, so they can be
played without tables or pads. Additional
performance notes are in the score.
