Handbell Choir - Lent & Easter
Near to the Heart of God (with Nearer, My
God, to Thee)—arr. Michael J. Glasgow.
This work blends together the beloved
hymn tunes
MCAFEE and BETHANY with
flowing lines, rich harmony, and abundant
expressive opportunities. The arrangement
includes an optional reproducible choral
tag, an unexpected performance option
that closes the piece with the ringers
and/or additional vocalists singing an
unaccompanied stanza of Nearer, My God,
to Thee which is especially compelling
in massed-ringing festival settings.
Commissioned for RingFest, an annual
advanced-level youth festival in Ohio.

Now the Green Blade Riseth (Sing
We Now of Christmas)—arr. Kevin
McChesney. Back by popular demand, this
classic arrangement of the French Carol
Noel Nouvelet has alternate texts which
allow it to be used at Christmas and Easter.
Malleted bass rhythms open the piece
and continue beneath the tune, driving
it forward. A full sounding arrangement,
this one keeps every hand busy yet still
is very workable. An excellent and fun
arrangement for everyone!

Hall. Some alternate harmonies, ebbing

Psalm 139—Fred Gramann. The language
of Psalm 139 assures us that God knows
us and is with us everywhere: "If I ascend
to heaven or make my bed in the depths,
thou art there!" This musical interpretation
strives to be joyful and confident, with
melodic lines that rise, then fall, only to
rise again even higher. The central section
explores the relative minor key, reflecting
on the final two verses of the psalm which
invite God to search us, know us, and lead
us to higher ground.
