Trios & Quartets
Allegro Giocoso from Carmen
Georges Bizet/arr. Michael Keller.
A show-stopping arrangement for four ringers of
an operatic classic. All changes and techniques
are indicated to assist the well-seasoned or
neophyte foursome. The work is musically
satisfying—and a challenge to perform.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
from "The Nutcracker, Op. 71"
arr. Hyosang Park.
This classical favorite from Tchaikovsky's The
Nutcracker has been 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; precise, clean damping
will make this section sparkle. A 32nd-note LV
section is true to the original and leads back to
the malleted main theme. Advanced quartets
will love adding this to their repertoire!

Grace
Erwin Stroobach.
This lovely original work for handbell quartet
and piano has a lyrical and engaging
melody that 'gracefully' flows in the piano
accompaniment as well. Rung throughout with
a few echoes included, this appealing and
accessible work will be a favorite in your quartet
repertoire. One of the Bronze and Ebony series
for small groups to play from separate tables
and not share bells.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Hymn Tune: FAITHFULNESS
arr. Michael Mazzatenta.
This creative and dynamic setting of a favorite
hymn is for handbell quartet and piano in
equal importance, with the parts alternating
between verses and refrains, ultimately joining
together on the final refrain. In the bell quartet,
each ringer has only two notes from the D
major scale (no accidentals), and thus can play
without tables. The piano score is written in
Classical/Romantic style and includes some
creative jazz-chord reharmonizations. This
celebratory piece for all occasions, features bell
peals and shakes in the quartet with colorful
and varied accompaniment in the piano part.

Hope
Erwin Stroobach.
One of the Bronze and Ebony Series written for
handbell quartet with piano accompaniment,
this is an extraordinarily beautiful work with
a flowing and engaging melody featured in
both bells and piano. The development flows
from lyrical to more rhythmic and dynamic
sections, incorporating much expression but
always returning to the initial, engaging, and
ethereal motif. The piano accompaniment is
exceptionally lovely. This is a must-have piece
for quartets to include in their repertoire for any
worship or secular occasion.

O Come, Little Children
arr. Sondra Tucker.
For handbell quartet, here is a whimsical, gleeful
interpretation of this familiar Christmas carol.
The playful nature of the song is expressed
through the malleted lines and clever interplay
between the parts. Ringers should aim for a
tempo that sparkles and dances.

O Come, Savior of the Nations
arr. Julie Turner.
NUN KOMM DER HEDEN HEILAND (Savior of the
Nations, Come) and
VENI, VENI, EMMANUEL
are beautifully combined in an ethereal and
engaging setting perfect for a call to worship
or any prayerful and introspective moment
during Advent. One ringer plays an ostinato
pattern while the other two ringers create a
duet of the two melodies. The ostinato part is
written such that it could be divided between
two ringers for an antiphonal/call-and-response
effect. Accessible and effective for your Advent
worship service.

Reflection
Erwin Stroobach.
This beautiful original quartet for handbells
features a sweet, lyrical melody that is rung in
each of the bell voices as well as handchimes.
LV is predominant throughout the entire work
and creates an ethereal base for the melody.
The descending bass line is reminiscent of
Telemann's Grazioso and, like that classic,
makes this piece a great addition to any
worship, concert, or school event - or wedding!
The melody will linger in your memory -
audiences and ringers alike will love this music.

If you have some ringers in your group
who are more advanced than the others,
offering a solo or duet is a great way to
keep them engaged.
