Advent & Christmas for Handbell Choir
Advent & Christmas
for Handbell Choir
A la Ru—arr. Sondra K. Tucker. A Hispanic
lullaby traditionally sung during the folk
drama Los Pastores at Christmas time in
Mexico and the American Southwest. This
arrangement has soft arpeggios reminiscent
of guitar. The handchimes intersperse
phrases of Silent Night, creating a peaceful
moment for Advent or Christmas worship.

Advent Hope—arr. Derek K. Hakes. The
contemplative strains of Savior of the
Nations, Come and Come, Thou Long-
Expected Jesus are woven together in
this lovely musical offering for the Advent
season. With no key alterations, straight-
forward ringing, and only a few bell
changes, this is a fine selection to put
together when rehearsals are at a minimum.
A perfect choice to put your congregation in
a thoughtfully prayerful mood.

and vocal settings.

then eventually back again to a peaceful
ending of the first hymn with a return of soft,
random ringing. Perfect for Christmas Eve
or a quiet moment in a Christmas concert.

Bogoroditse Devo (Rejoice, O Virgin
(Ave Maria))—Sergei Rachmaninoff/arr.
Cathy Moklebust. Part of Rachmaninoff's
All-Night Vigil, opus 37, also known as
The Vespers, this work is characterized
by its serene yet rich tone. Voices are
carefully layered to create a sense of
spiritual depth and tranquility. Since the
work centers in the bass and lower treble,
alternate assignments are given, and it
may be played by handbells, handchimes,
or a combination of the two. Although it is
generally associated with Christmas, it can
be performed and appreciated year-round
in both sacred and concert settings.
