Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land—
arr. Mark Arnold. This creative and fun
arrangement of the familiar spiritual
begins with mallet clicks that set the tone
for the piece. The melody appears over a
rhythmically malleted bass line with a bit of
a blues or jazzy feel. Lots of syncopations
make this a learning opportunity for most
Level 2 groups, but the end result will be a
fun piece for concert or worship.

The Lord Now Sends Us Forth (Enviado
soy de Dios)—arr. Cathy Moklebust. This
uplifting arrangement of the Central American
folk melody Enviado soy de Dios (ENVIADO)
is flexible and accessible. The underlying
malleted rhythm pattern is very repetitive,
making it easy to learn. Techniques abound
with martellato, mallets, shakes, and LV.
Even though they are optional, the addition
of claves, maracas, bongos, congas, and
acoustic guitar will not only add energy and
spice, they will also help to enhance and
reinforce the underlying rhythms for the
ringers. Use for worship or concert when
the focus is on care for the earth and each
other. Editions are compatible. Optional 2-3
octaves of handchimes.

enchanting meditation on the tune of
the familiar hymn When Morning Gilds
the Skies offers a captivating musical

melody is altered, giving fresh emphasis
to the text. Gentle chimes in the reflective
middle section highlight the melody, leading

the hymn tune.

My Lord, What a Morning—arr. Greg
Fisher. This setting offers a new twist on an
old favorite. The opening singing bell chord
is evocative of the dawn, and a cascading
motif throughout the piece represents
"falling stars." The work features contrasting
sections: a rhythmic, malleted passage
evoking the call to "hear the trumpet sound"
that "wakes the nations underground;"
a delicate, twinkling line of malleted
suspended bells with the melody carried
in the bass; and a glorious Maestoso.
This unique work offers great educational
moments for festivals and is perfect for
general worship, Matins, or Advent.

My Savior's Love—arr. Mary Lou Fast.
A favorite gospel hymn has been given a
upbeat treatment with a stirring introduction,
a recognizable melody and a variety of
techniques that add emphasis to the text.
A more contemplative verse in minor gives
way to the final verse with a rhythmically
malleted bass line before ending as it began.

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need—arr.
Julie Turner. Two early American hymn
tunes (RESIGNATION and NETTLETON) are
combined in this creative arrangement.
Rather than layering the two melodies, each
is given its own setting with RESIGNATION
opening and closing the piece in a gentle,
reflective style, with the middle two verses of
NETTLETON more energetic and invigorating.
