Star of the County Down
arr. Brian Childers.
This popular Irish folk melody has roots in
both sacred and secular music and this setting
will work perfectly in either! The peaceful
beginning feature chimes, random malleted
notes, cymbals and bar chimes as the melody
is gradually introduced, leading to a light
dance-like section. Mallets and shakes propel it
forward as the tempo increases suddenly as it
rollicks on to the end. What an amazing setting!
Perfect for worship or concert.

Vigoureux!
Barbara Scheffter.
Immediately engaging, this original work
will uplift everyone's spirits! The melody is
wonderful and appears throughout in various
voicings and styles. Use of malleted bass
provides forward motion, but there are many
sections where the bass rings and supports the
interesting motifs happening elsewhere. Varying
techniques, dynamics, and transitions from
major to minor and back with well-crafted key
changes add to the joy of this work. Lively and
filled with happiness, this piece will become an
audience and ringer favorite!

arr. Sandra Eithun.

selection for concerts.

Bundle of Joy
from "Inside Out"
Michael Giacchino/arr. Daniel Ujifusa.
This lovely music is from the score of the Disney-
Pixar film "Inside Out," based on a young girl
as her life moves from infancy to pre-teen. This
gentle and beautiful adaptation for bells and
optional handchimes (2 octaves) uses singing
bell, suspended mallets, and LV passages that
add rich sonority. An ethereal work with an
underlying pulse sure to be enjoyed by all.

The Colorado Trail
arr. Kevin McChesney.
This traditional American cowboy song was
originally collected and published by Carl
Sandburg in his The American Songbag. This
arrangement is true to the character of the
song, an evocative depiction of life along the
dust-swept prairie. Arpeggiated bells support the
melody throughout, with optional handchimes
(E4-G5) adding contrast to the middle verse.

For Good
from the musical "Wicked"
Stephen Schwartz/arr. Sandra Eithun.
Bring the magic of Broadway into your
performance space with this exquisite handbell
rendition of the beloved favorite from
"Wicked." Familiarity with the song will help
when working out tricky rhythmic patterns
(triples over duples) and other polyrhythms.
Optional 3-7 octaves of handchimes.

Hail, Holy Queen
from "Sister Act"
arr. Kevin McChesney.
Remember the movie "Sister Act" with Whoopi
Goldberg? Well, hold onto your wimple,
because here's Hail, Holy Queen (Oh Maria)
from that same movie, skillfully arranged
for handbells! This super-fun and rollicking
arrangement based on the hymn
SALVE REGINA
is sure to put a smile on the face of anyone who
hears it!

Hey Jude
John Lennon & Paul McCartney/arr. Ron Mallory.
This faithful transcription of the Beatles'
1968 hit song uses bells and optional
chimes (3 octaves) to capture the feel of the
piano and guitar accompaniment of the
original. Optional tambourine adds rhythmic
energy. A section at the end may be repeated
to extend the famous "na-na-na-na" ending
as much (or as little) as desired! Optional
handchimes Eb5-C7.

Live a-Humble
arr. Mark Arnold.

fun, energetic arrangement useful for worship
or concert.

Conduct the way you want the music
played. Use a mirror and practice
showing the ringers what you want
them to do. A staccato section (TD, etc.)
should not look the same as a legato
(LV) section.
