Ukrainian Alleluia
Craig Courtney/arr. Mitchell Eithun.
Following the beloved choral anthem closely, the essence of the
piece is captured with handbells, and the word "alleluia" is evident
in the sequential melodic line. This piece, inspired by a trip to
Ukraine in 2007, is "a musical portrayal of a quiet voice of faith,
praise, and hope in the midst of suffering and tragedy."

The Way Back Home
Mark Longfield.
This bell tree solo with handbell choir is an exuberant and joy-filled
romp toward the place that welcomes far-flung family members
back into the fold. The contrast between the bell tree melody, the
syncopated, mostly malleted bass line, and the countermelody
played on chimes is simply stunning. The brief middle section
is more legato, allowing a moment to reflection before returning
to opening material. This is a fabulous choice for concerts and
services with an inclusive or "home" theme. Composed so that no
duplicate bells are needed. A separate bell tree part is included
which is not reproducible, so please purchase a copy for the bell
tree. Winner of the 2025 Area 10 Bell Tree Composition Contest.

The Weeping Willow Tree
Karen L. Buckwalter.
This lush original by a master arranger is a musical reflection
on Psalm 137, "By the waters of Babylon." Rich harmonies that
ebb and flow, conveying different moods, elicit a spirit of deep
lament found in the psalm. This piece was commissioned by
the Raleigh Ringers.

A Song of Hope
Patrick W. Meyer.
An original work for handbells, flute, and oboe, this beautiful piece
is lyrical and engaging with a melody that will stay with you long
after the music has ended. The melody is featured in the flute and
oboe, magically interwoven with the gently flowing handbell score,
so well written your group will naturally play it with expression and
nuance. Beginning in 4/4, a key change from the original D-flat
major to D major segues to a gentle dance-like section in 3/4
before returning to 4/4 and the main melody. This is the perfect
title to add to your group's concert repertoire.
