Handbell Choir -
Lent & Easter
Ah, Holy Jesus—arr. Brenda Austin. The
introduction immediately draws the listener
in with singing bell techniques, chimes, and
suspended higher bells with mallets. The
middle section is the tune rung with eighth-
note accompaniment and interesting harmonic
variations. An interlude brings us to another
key and a stronger stanza. The piece ends as
it began. Very meaningful!

All Glory, Laud and Honor—arr. Cynthia
Dobrinski & Linda Scholes. This Palm Sunday
setting maintains excitement and energy
from beginning to end with big chords and a
sprinkling of shakes, martellatos, ring touches,
swings, thumb damps, martellato lifts, and an
echo, as well as a malleted section. Choirs will
enjoy the fact that the full range of octaves is
utilized for all ringers and that bell changes are
minimal. This classic "Dobrinski" has been
expanded for 3-5 octaves by Linda Scholes.

All Glory, Laud and Honor—arr. Cathy
Moklebust. Palm Sunday options abound with
this accessible, flexible arrangement of the tune
ST. THEODULPH. An optional, easily memorized
processional is provided, followed by an
arrangement of the hymn, which is compatible
with most hymnal harmonizations. For handbells
alone, or add optional B-flat or C instrument and
congregational singing. An excellent choice for
your Palm Sunday celebration!

Alleluia (Honduran Alleluia)—arr. Patricia
Hurlbutt. This lively piece based on a Honduran
melody is ideal for Easter Sunday, Eastertide,
Ascension, or Pentecost. Optional 2 octaves
handchimes, maracas, and claves add color
and interest. The text to this hymn is "Aleluya,
el Señor resucitó" which translates to
"Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead."

At the Cross—arr. Lloyd Larson. This
arrangement is a medley of three familiar
Lenten titles: At the Cross; Beneath the Cross
of Jesus and When I Survey the Wondrous
Cross. The three tunes are cleverly intertwined,
allowing your congregation to reflect on these
familiar hymns while contemplating the cross.
11416838 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . .L2 5.95
Beneath the Cross of Jesus—Frederick
Maker/arr. Ron Mallory. This beautiful
arrangement of the beloved hymn is highly
engaging, with a variety of musical expressions
that show the bell choir at their musical best.
Beginning with ethereal random ringing in
the treble bells with (optional) chime melody
in the bass clef, the middle section is fairly
straightforward in harmony before an interlude
returns to random ringing as at the beginning.
Optional windchimes along with optional 2-3 or
3-5 octaves handchimes add color and interest.

Calvary Melody—Brian Childers. This
original is quite accessible to any ensemble,
yet this thoughtful and tender work is worthy of
more advanced groups when careful attention
to the melody and subtle dynamic changes is
paid. The imagery portrayed by this poignant
music brings us to Calvary and enables us to
reflect inward during Lent. The two versions
are compatible for use at festivals, concerts,
and events with multiple groups.

Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia (Mfurahini,
Haleluya)—arr. Patricia Hurlbutt. Lively
and with a joyous sense of celebration,
this traditional song from Tanzania will be
a divine addition to any Easter celebration.
Handbell musicians will enjoy the driving
rhythm, while worshippers will be uplifted
by the simple yet beautiful African melody.
This is a great choice for smaller ensembles
during the Easter season.

Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed!—
Ed Cash, Keith Getty & Kristyn Getty/arr.
Linda Scholes. The popularity of the Gettys'
ministry is unparalleled in this generation. This
new Easter arrangement of one of their most
popular songs is dynamic in energy and filled
with joy. This Level 1 setting is easy to learn
and captures the joy of Easter morning. "Christ
is risen, He is risen indeed!"
10956633 2-3 Octave . . . . . . . . .L1 5.95
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today—arr.
Mitchell Eithun. This exciting arrangement is
perfect for Easter! Although it is written for 3,
4, or 5 octaves, there are no bell changes,
meaning it can be played by a full choir with or
without the use of tables. A jubilant "skip" adds
rhythmic interest while preserving the majesty
of this Easter melody.
11375693 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . .L2 4.95
Conquering the Grave—arr. Craig Laumann.
This triumphant yet accessible arrangement of
TRURO and DIADEMATA is perfect for Eastertide
worship or general occasions. The strong
chordal writing creates a full, festive sound.
The contrasting B section features the melody
in the bass on handchimes (3 octaves, optional)
against oscillating treble bells. Effective, and a
good choice for the developing choir. NO
SHARED BELLS.
11374268 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . .L2 5.25
The Cross—arr. Jason W. Krug. This piece
is a medley of the tunes
OLIVE'S BROW, SELENA,
and NEAR THE CROSS. Optional handchimes
provide a smooth contrast in this flowing
arrangement suitable for Good Friday or
anytime during Lent.
11416646 3-6 Octave . . . . . . . L2+ 4.95
The Day of Resurrection (Exultation on
LANCASHIRE)—arr. Kurt Meyer. This Easter
standard, arranged for bells with optional
handchimes (2-3 octaves), trumpet, and
keyboard, will be a highlight of your Easter
services. This solid traditional arrangement has
a contrasting middle verse using chimes and
some surprising harmonies in the final verse.

download from the publisher's website.
11417983 3-5 Octave . . . . . . . . .L3 5.95
A Day to Rejoice!—Michael Mazzatenta.
This joyous and beautiful original is rhythmic,
full of fun techniques (TD, malleted bells on
table, mart, and echo), and features a very
nice section where the optional handchimes
play the melody.
11375688 2-3 Octave . . . . . . . L2+ 4.95
Easter Bells—arr. Michael Ryan. Let the
handbells ring out in unbridled joy with this
ingenious pairing of
LASST UNS ERFREUEN (All
Creatures of Our God and King) and
EASTER
HYMN (Christ the Lord is Risen Today). From
light accents and syncopated rhythms to
shakes that emphasize the triumphant and
glorious ending, this accessible arrangement
will add excitement to any Easter celebration.

Easter Rondo (Easter Hymn & Madrid)—
Caleb J. Onstead. Creatively combining
EASTER
HYMN and MADRID into an uplifting and rhythmic
arrangement, this is the perfect addition to your
Easter repertoire! It begins with an exciting
introduction that leads into a stately rhythmic
section. Suspended bells hinting of tower bell
chimes is joined with a more introspective and
expressive 3-5 octave handchime passage.
An elegant segue carries the arrangement
forward to the exciting and dynamic coda,
which reestablishes the beginning of this
piece. Tower swings, mallets, suspended
bells, ring touches, and thumb damps are
perfectly placed, and expressive and nuanced
dynamics make this arrangement sing.

Give Me Jesus—arr. Michael J. Glasgow.
Bells and chimes stand alone in this
arrangement of the beloved spiritual, with
an optional violin part that enhances the
ethereal quality of the piece. Played with a
sense of rhythmic freedom or sempre rubato,
this arrangement possesses a tender quality,
allowing the melody to flow from the texture
and the poetry of the spiritual to come alive.
