Living Water—Cathy Moklebust. "Whoever
believes in me, rivers of living water will flow
from within them." In this original composition,
handbells describe a metaphor where faith
starts as a small brook that gradually becomes
deeper and more active as it flows from brook to
stream to a rushing river. Starting with a simple
melody surrounded by quiet, randomly malleted
bells and followed by a gently flowing section of
moving LV bass, the music gradually develops
into a strong, churning section of LV sixteenth
notes. As the piece draws to a close, it returns
to the calmer, gentler sounds of the beginning.
This creative and thoughtful interpretation is
appropriate for concert or worship

sparkling rendition of the hymn tune BEECHER

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 God; Your Fingers
Trace and The Lone Wild Bird. A lyrical,
flowing composition, the brief 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. Consider
this for Sundays with themes of stewardship,
Holy Trinity, and the Holy Spirit.

Tucker. Lots of fun techniques make this lively
setting perfect for festive worship. Beginning

supports the KREMSER melody line, the
second verse then changes character with
a descending four-note pattern with echoes
supporting the tune THE ASH GROVE. The final
verse merges both accompanimental patterns
with a return to the first tune. It's a great
festival piece too, and ringers will enjoy the
extended malleting sections.

Krug. This beloved hymn has been arranged

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing—arr.
Julie Turner. One of the great hymns of the
church is given rich textures and engaging

handchimes (3 or 5 octaves) changes the
pace, as does the final, majestic verse.
