From Peril to Peace to Joy—Lee Afdahl.
This medley of three tone poems was written
specifically in honor of the Handbell Ringers
of Japan to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Musically, the work is true to the title. The 'Peril'
section is quite dramatic, beginning with an
8-measure, ominous mallet roll starting in the low
bass. The main themes are filled with energy and
end this section with a dramatic chord. 'Peace'
is introduced on handchimes leading into a
lovely melodic section which includes rainsticks.
'Joy' then follows with a simple melody which is
beautifully developed to the end.

Gladness and Grace—Michael Mazzatenta.
A winner of the 2021 Into the Forest Bell Tree
Composition Contest, this original is written to be
played using only one set of bells (3-5 octaves)
and one 3 octave set of handchimes with no
duplicate bells. The bell tree part is playable for a
relatively new bell tree ringer and is accompanied
by a choir of mixed bells, chimes and percussion.
Lovely and accessible for many choirs.

("Rise Up and Sing," a song of
resilience)—arr. Brenda E. Austin.
A song of resilience, this traditional Israeli
folk song begins with a mournful setting on
handchimes (3-5 octaves) that is lovely, gentle,
and flowing. The character of the piece changes
as it moves into an up-tempo section with malleted
rhythmic bass supporting the melody as it drives
to the end. The arrangement is fresh and inspiring
and will make a great concert piece!

work is full of intensity, with constantly changing

material returns as the piece builds towards its
end on an explosive final chord for a finish sure to
send your audience to their feet!
