Patriotic Handbell Music
7 Americana Tunes for 12 Bells
arr. Brian Childers.
An excellent reproducible collection for choirs
to ring on the go at patriotic or Americana-
themed events. All arrangements are in F major
(F5 to C7) with no bell changes required. They
are scored on two pages, so there are no
mid-song page turns. They may be played as
a set by finishing each piece with a fermata,
allowing time for ringers to turn the page. The
approximate performance time for the entire set
is 15 minutes.

America The Beautiful
arr. Arnold Sherman.
Perform this exciting arrangement with bells
alone or add optional organ, brass (trumpet I
and II, horn, trombone I and II, tuba, percussion
and timpani). After a 16 measure introduction,
the handbells usher in the melody alone; and
the other instruments chime in accompaniment
shortly thereafter. In the second statement of
the melody, the organ gets a solo line and the
bells provide a malleted accompaniment. The
last melodic statement is broad and stately.
