original piece is fun to play, and audiences
will be engaged from the beginning. Use
for community concerts, general worship
services, or special services like Palm
Sunday or Christ the King. Written for the

random ringing. Perfect for Christmas Eve
or a quiet moment in a Christmas concert.

Amen, Amen—arr. Linda R. Lamb.
This uplifting spiritual for Christmas or
general use is arranged for bell choir with
handchimes - plus a bell tree! The upper
bells are used for the bell tree, so only one
set of bells is needed. A malleted rhythm in
the bass supports the melody as it playfully
weaves between the bell tree and the treble
bells. The handchimes are optional, but their
use is very much encouraged. A separate
bell tree part is included in the edition.
