Handbell Music
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People—arr.
Jason W. Krug. This well-crafted setting
resonates with a festive spirit, infusing the
timeless melody with vibrant energy and
warmth. The shifting meter that is part of
the hymn tune is expanded with a regularly
shifting meter between 5/4 and 6/4, which
contributes to the energy. A sprightly tempo
upholds the joyous nature of the text.

Dona Nobis Pacem (with Infant Holy,
Infant Lowly)—arr. Paul Douglas. Opening
with the simple DONA NOBIS melody, the
texture gradually develops by adding
contrapuntal lines until the Infant Holy
theme is introduced. Two key changes carry
into a gorgeous ending as both melodies
are heard before fading into silence. With
the theme of peace merged with the Polish
carol, this piece will be effective in concert
or service.

Glad Tidings of Joy—arr. Lloyd Larson.
Pairing God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
and Pat-a-Pan is a delight to listen to or
play. Driving malleted rhythms underpin
the melody until a brief echo section
which gives way to the malleted rhythms
once more. A key change introduces
the Pat-a-Pan melody before a return to
the original key brings the piece in to its
exciting conclusion. A must-have for this
Christmas season!

Hark the Glad Sound—James Bawden.
This celebratory original beautifully conveys
the joy of Advent and Christmas seasons
beginning with hints of the melody rung in
repeated octaves leading into the full-choir
main theme. The addition of the optional
synthesizer adds depth to the music. A
key change segues to a variation of the
main theme now rung on handchimes until
it leads back to the opening material then
on to the dynamic ending. Addition of bar
chime, jingle bells and cymbal rolls add to
this creative setting.
