New Advent and Christmas
– Large Ensemble
Advent Majesty
arr. Karen L Buckwalter.
Majestic and regal, this bold medley of the
hymn tunes
CONSOLATION; KINGSFOLD; and
VENI EMMANUEL depicts the birth of Jesus as
that of a king. The tunes are masterfully woven
together, building in power and grandeur until
the triumphant ending. Perfect for any time
during Advent.

All My Heart Again Rejoices
arr. Karen L. Buckwalter.
This memorable arrangement begins with
mysterious random ringing as the opening
calm and restful verse of
WAEUM SOLLT ICH is
presented. The middle section then moves
to Angels We Have Heard On High and then
eventually back again to a peaceful ending of
the first hymn with a return of soft, random
ringing. Perfect for Christmas Eve or a quiet
moment in a Christmas concert.

Angels from the Realms of Glory
Christ is Made the Sure Foundation
arr. Mark Arnold.
Techniques abound in this setting of the Christmas
favorite as mallets, marts and shakes add
excitement to the traditional
REGENT SQUARE
tune. An opening fanfare is followed by verses in
several styles, including a laid-back "groove" and
a contrasting handchime section, before driving to
a rousing conclusion. Ringers and audiences will
enjoy this creative and fun arrangement!

arr. Chip Davis, adapt. Michael Glasgow.
Adapted for handbells, this festive and creative
Mannheim Steamroller favorite works beautifully
in all holiday programming.

Bogoroditse Devo
Rejoice, O Virgin Ave Maria
Sergei Rachmaninoff/arr. Cathy Moklebust.
Part of Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil, opus
37, also known as The Vespers, this work
is characterized by its serene yet rich tone.
Voices are carefully layered to create a sense of
spiritual depth and tranquility, offering listeners a
transcendent experience. Since the work centers
in the bass and lower treble, alternate assignments
are given, and it may be played by handbells,
handchimes, or a combination of the two.
Although it is generally associated with Christmas,
it can be performed and appreciated year-round in
both sacred and concert settings.

Breath of Heaven
Chris Eaton & Amy Grant/arr. Joel Raney.
This contemporary favorite imagines Mary's
thoughts and prayers as she approaches the
birth of the Christ Child. This arrangement for
handbells and piano captures the essence of this
beautiful piece with rich harmonies and supportive
accompaniment, making it an inspirational
addition to your Christmas programming.

A Celebration of Christmas
A Medley of Traditional Carols
arr. Cathy Moklebust.
This medley of five beloved carols is playable
by handbells and handchimes alone or as a
congregational or audience sing-along. Optional
parts are available for SATB choir, brass quintet,
timpani, and organ, making this piece an
exciting addition to either Christmas worship
or concert performance. Let vibrate and shake
are the only special techniques required, and
options are given for flexibility in length. Carols:
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing (
MENDELSSON);
O Little Town of Bethlehem (ST.
LOUIS); Angels
We Have Heard on High (GLORIA);
Silent Night
(STILLE
NACHT); Joy to the World (ANTIOCH).

Christmas & Holiday | New Advent & Christmas for Large Ensemble
For an effective opening to an Advent
service, use O Come, O Come Emmanuel
from Cynthia Dobrinski's Two Easy
Seasonal Processionals (3212263). This
piece can be taught by rote. Start with
singing bells on E's and B's surrounding the
sanctuary; use chimes on the chords that
repeat throughout. The two bell trees can
process or be stationary. Add a low E on
the organ and wow — instant goosebumps.
