Handbells in Worship | Sacred Music for Handbell Choir
No Tables Required, Vol. 3
arr. Linda Lamb.
This third installment of the popular No Tables
Required series brings fresh arrangements of
three new titles: a classic hymn tune, a spiritual,
and a Christmas carol. As the title says, all may
be played without tables, as there are no bell
changes or techniques that require a table. Ring
anywhere with just a music stand! If performing
all three together, take along a carpet square to
rest the three flats needed in the various
key signatures.

Shout for Joy
Cathy Moklebust.
A delightful piece based on Psalm 100 ("Make
a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth,") this
original features a beautiful melody with dynamic
rhythms. The piece is arranged in three distinct

on "Know that the Lord, He is God," and an
energetic "Enter His gates with thanksgiving,"
all following the contour of the psalm text.
Optional narration will bring the scripture to
life, coordinating text to music. Mallets and
martellato techniques add excitement. Use this
piece with any festive occasion in praise of God.

to ff, start the shake with the bell in the
horizontal position close to the table then
bring it to vertical. It will both look and
sound impressive!
