Handbell Choir - Lent & Easter | Small Ensemble - Lent & Easter
Ride On, King Jesus—arr. Valerie
Stephenson. Using malleted sounds on
the lower octaves to simulate the donkey's
hooves, this energetic setting of an African
American spiritual is a joyful way for your
bellchoir to celebrate Jesus' entry into
Jerusalem on Palm Sunday! A variety of
other specialty effects give flair and color
to the arrangement, which stays in C-major
and uses chromatics sparingly.

Thine Is the Glory—arr. Susan Geschke.
From the Two Octave Gem Series and
using only 20 bells, celebrate Easter with
this joyous hymn, designed specifically
for the two octave choir. Reflecting the
reverent and celebratory optimism of the
day, martellato and echo techniques are
used to enhance the exultant refrains. This
is easily learned and accessible for any
youth or adult handbell choir.

Three Pieces for Lent and Easter—
Karissa Dennis. This set of arrangements
provides two selections for Lent and
Holy Week observances and one for
Easter Sunday. In keeping with level-one
guidelines, there is no subdivision of the
beat and the few handbell changes are
prepared. Ringers will enjoy developing
a variety of techniques, including echoes,
tower swings, and martellatos, and working
on legato passages that use LVs.

Were You There?—arr. Brenda E. Austin.
This setting of the familiar Lenten spiritual
has depth yet is accessible to developing
ringers. It begins with an optional two-
measure introduction of dissonant chords
symbolizing the crucifixion as Jesus is
nailed to the cross. Then listeners are
captivated by the haunting singing bell and
malleted suspended bells. The two editions
are compatible for massed ringing.

What Wondrous Love Is This?—arr.
Susan Geschke. The beloved Appalachian
folksong is presented in all its simple beauty
with these two compatible settings, one for
2-3 octaves and one for 3-5 octave groups.
Effective when played by either handbells or
handchimes, it moves quietly from measure
to measure with minimal bell changes and
easy techniques such as shake and echo.
It is a marvelous setting to introduce
your beginning ringers to this hymn, or a
simple-to-prepare, prayerful addition to the
repertoire for more capable ensembles.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross—arr.
Sandra Eithun. While rhythmically simple,
added musical elements, handchimes,
and techniques engage listeners while
creating opportunities to foster growth in
a beginning ensemble. This well-known
hymn is always well received as a thought-
provoking backdrop during the Lenten
season or communion services. The
optional suspended bells that bookend the
arrangement create a feel of steeple bells
in the distance calling worshipers together.
Both editions are compatible. Optional 2-3
octave handchimes.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross—
arr. Linda Scholes. Beginning ensembles
will love this setting of the tune
HAMBURG
that uses the echo technique very
effectively. Despite having no bell changes
and no notes shorter than quarter notes,
this arrangement still has a full, lush sound
and gives careful treatment of the melody.

When Jesus Wept—William Billings/arr.
Jason W Krug. This well-crafted piece is
a wonderfully mysterious and powerful
arrangement of an early American Lenten
hymn. The treatment of the melody and
harmonies fully supports the hymn text:
"When Jesus wept, the falling tear in mercy
flowed beyond all bound; when Jesus
groaned, a trembling fear seized all the guilty
world around." The final section is aptly
marked "Triumphantly," but then gradually
transitions to a soft, prayerful conclusion.
