Waltz of the Flowers
The Nutcracker Suite Op. 71a
arr. Mitchell Eithun.
This familiar and delightful waltz from

shakes, which accentuate the phrasings. Effective
placement of dynamics emphasize the graceful
movement of this wonderful work. It is accessible
by moderately-accomplished groups and will be a
lovely addition for your holiday concerts and more!

The Winter Began Softly
Sandra Eithun.
This original work for handbells paints a serene
picture of a winter landscape blanketed in
lightly-falling snow. The singing bell and lyrical
passages evoke the beauty and silence of the
season. Cascading lines mimic the gentle fall
of snowflakes capturing the magic of a walk
through the woods on a snowy day. Touching on
themes of nostalgia, wonder or the passage of
time, this piece is ideal for any time of reflection.

Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus HYFRYDOL
arr. Mark Arnold.
Suitable for Advent or Christmas, this setting of
the Welsh hymn tune
HYFRYDOL will be enjoyed
by ringers and listeners for its clear presentation
of the well-loved melody. Playable by relatively
inexperienced players, and useful when you
need a quick piece to put together with more
experienced ringers, this arrangement can also

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
from "The Nutcracker, Op. 71"
arr. Hyosang Park.
This classical favorite from Tchaikovsly's
Nutcracker Ballet has been nicely adapted for
handbell quartet. It features many malleted
sections which must be executed gracefully
with great expression and dynamics. The
B' section is rung and flows with many
expressions from pianissimo to fortissimo and
precise, clean damping will make this section
sparkle. A 32nd note LV section is true to the
original and leads back to the main, malleted
theme. Advanced quartets will love adding this
title to their repertoire!

Four Advent Hymns For Twelve Bells
arr. Sandra Eithun.
This collection of hymn arrangements is perfect
for those times when you are shorthanded for
musicians or would like to travel with a small
group. Each piece uses only twelve bells,
spanning F5 to C7, and includes suggested
assignments for each bell. Because not every
piece is in the key of F, this collection offers a
wider variety of harmonic possibilities while still
maintaining a small number of ringers. Tunes
include:
JEFFERSON; PICARDY; VENI EMMANUEL
and FREU DICH SEHR.
