passages with triumphant, bold sections, this
arrangement of the beloved hymn is sure to
enhance your worship throughout the church
year. The melody passes back and forth
between the handbells and piano, with each
part contributing to the harmony, texture, and

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.

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. A very nice ‘B'
section features handchime section with
melody again featured in the rich, tonal mid-
range. Returning to the original theme, the
melody returns with a brief section featuring
LV treble support, gradually building in energy
to an exciting ending. 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

Triumphant!—Linda Scholes. This original
tune is triumphant indeed! With prominent
syncopation and bold chords throughout, it sets
a joyous and celebratory mood from the outset.
A slower, more thoughtful section featuring
chimes and light malleted bass bells offers
a nice textural contrast before a return to the
opening figure and feel, which rounds out the
piece on a bold celebratory note. While perfect
for an Easter celebration, use this piece for any
moment of celebration in worship or concert!

Ubi Caritas—Gustav Holst, Traditional/arr.
Matthew Compton. Church and community
ensembles alike will love the sensitivity
and chance for expressive ringing in this
arrangement that combines the traditional
Gregorian chant Ubi Caritas with Holst's
THAXTED from Jupiter. After a featured verse
of each tune, the arrangement moves to some
original material under the chant before one last
bold statement of the two tunes layered over
one another. This moving arrangement will be
a perfect fit in worship services and concerts.

Variations on the Doxology—arr. Sondra
K. Tucker.
OLD HUNDREDTH is featured in this
knockout arrangement. A straightforward
chorale setting leads into an energetic toccata
section, then an easy fughetta morphs into
the brilliant finale. There are a few rhythmic
challenges in the final section, making this a
learning piece for your developing choir. Only
one shared bell (G#Ab5) and bass ringers - pay
attention to the assignment suggestion!

CLONMEL is treated in Celtic style, with singing
bell drones, a lilting original melody, optional
handchimes, and an optional part for violin
or other C treble instrument. The hymn is
presented as a set of variations, from flowing
and lyric to a march, a round, and a grand and
glorious final verse that gradually fades away
across the hills. The Celtic-style ornamentation
is optional, making this arrangement
accessible to many groups.

When We Gather—Kathleen Wissinger.
Based on Matthew 18:20, "When two or three
are gathered in my name, there am I with
them," this piece speaks to the presence of
God amid his people. The handbell part can
be a beautiful stand-alone piece or provide
accompaniment for the hymn. The verses
may be sung by choir or soloist, with the
congregation joining on the refrain. A guitar part
and insert for the congregation are included.

Where Waters Flow—Ron Mallory. "Lyrical"
and "flowing" are two words that aptly
describe this original work which vividly depicts
water flowing in a stream. A Level 1 piece, yet
very musical, beginning groups will have the
opportunity to work on legato ringing and to
increase their understanding of LV patterns.
For handbells or handchimes, this selection
will enhance any worship service or concert.

Who Is This?—arr. Kathleen Wissinger. This
little-known Southern Harmony gem enthralls
with a unique form, minor mode, and an
intriguing melody. Three variations (verses)
incorporate martellato, interesting harmonies,
and parts for an optional vocal solo or unison
hymn. The two noncompatible settings allow
for different bell and vocal ranges. Three hymn
texts are included: Lent, Epiphany, and Palm
Sunday. Score "A" is in G, "B" is in C.

—arr. Lloyd Larson. Each of these seven
pieces can serve both as hymn introductions or
"introits" for your handbell choir. Each is about
20 measures long, ending in the key most
often associated with the tune so organists can
easily transition to the opening hymn. There
are selections for Palm Sunday, Lent, Easter,
Christmas, and general occasions.
