A Blessing
Michael Helman.
Written in honor of his grandsons, this delicate original has a heartfelt
melody reminiscent of a classic ballad. Flowing accompanimental lines
support the melody played first on bells, then on chimes in the middle
section which then builds before returning to the opening material.
Sweetly sentimental, this original will be a special moment in either
worship or concert. Optional 3-5 octave handchimes.

Boatmen's Dance
Dan E. Emmit/arr. Linda Boatright.
Originally written for banjo, this song tells the story of some fun-loving
and bawdy boatmen on the Ohio River. Capturing the authentic spirit
of the tune, this arrangement features a variety of stopped techniques
while the engaging melody and countermelodies are featured
throughout the bell range. The addition of foot stomps, handclaps,
tambourine, and wood block convey the lively dancing of the boatmen.
Ship's bell or foghorn are suggested as fun options! Written at Level 3,
this piece becomes a fun challenge for Level 4 groups if rung at tempo!
