Allegretto Festivo
J. Wayne Kerr.
This delightful original music has an engaging
melody and features a variety of bell techniques
perfect for ringers who are expanding their
ringing skills. The piece begins with table
mallets in all ranges followed by a similar
passage that is rung. The pattern of playing a
section with a technique followed by the same
section rung is repeated throughout. Techniques
include table mallets, echo, shakes, and marts.
There are no accidentals, and the tempo is
moderate. This is a perfect piece for ringers to
have fun with techniques!

Aurora
Benjamin A. Tucker.
This skillfully crafted original begins serenely
before moving into an upbeat malleted bass
line that serves as the foundation for the piece.

treble ostinato. A section using handchimes (3
octaves) creates contrast before returning to
the opening material that builds to an exciting
conclusion. For worship, concert, or festival,
this piece will be enjoyable to play and hear.

Hornpipe
from "Water Music" Suite No. 2 in D Major
G.F. Handel/arr. Martha Lynn Thompson.
This flexible arrangement works well as a double
choir piece or in massed ringing settings with
groups varying from three to five octaves of
handbells plus three octaves of handchimes.
Add another instrument in lieu of handchimes for
interesting color. Written in C major, the setting is
mostly rung with a few stopped techniques and
the occasional shake. This will be an amazing
addition to your handbell repertoire!
