Christmas & Holiday | New Advent & Christmas for Large Ensemble
Christmas Sanctus—Lee Dengler/arr. Brenda E.
Austin. Combining the tender beauty of the Nativity
story with the age-old grandeur of the Sanctus
text, the music weds the simplicity of the stable
in Bethlehem to a deeply worshipful exaltation of
the promised Savior. It builds in intensity through
the final refrain, with an optional soprano descant
that enhances its brilliance and then ends with an
intimate final statement reflecting the awe felt by all
who experience Christ's presence on earth. This
3-5 octave handbell setting can stand alone for bell
choir or can serve as the accompaniment to any of
the vocal settings.

Coventry Carol—arr. Cathy Moklebust. This easy
setting of the haunting Christmas tune sounds
much bigger and more difficult than it is. While
the rhythms are all Level 1 and there are no bell
changes, varied techniques and tempo changes
add slightly to the complexity. Singing bell, finger
cymbals, and bells malleted off the table create
a mystical backdrop against which the rung
melody is heard. Martellato is used effectively to
convey "Herod the king in his raging." Available
in compatible 2-3 and 3-5 octave settings; use for
worship, concert, or festival.

Dona Nobis Pacem (with Infant Holy, Infant
Lowly)—arr. Paul Douglas. Opening with the
simple
DONA NOBIS melody, the texture gradually
develops by adding contrapuntal lines until the
Infant Holy theme is introduced. Two key changes
carry into a gorgeous ending as both melodies are
heard before fading into silence. With the theme of
peace merged with the Polish carol, this piece is
effective in concert or service.

Echoes of Christmas—arr. Karissa Dennis. The
Ukrainian Bell Carol is cleverly combined with What
Child Is This? in this arrangement for the Christmas
season. Each tune is heard in its entirety before
ending quietly.

Exultation on FOREST GREEN—arr. Jason Krug.
This exciting and celebratory arrangement can be
used for many different occasions throughout the
church year but is especially known in conjunction
with the hymn texts O Little Town of Bethlehem and
O Beautiful the March of Days.

Fantasia on Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
—arr. Carol Lynn Mizell. When this piece
premiered as the prelude to a Lessons and
Carols service, four trombones played from
the balcony with the handbells and solo
handbell tree located in the chancel area. If
you are short a few trombones, a reduction of
the trombone parts for organ or synthesizer
is also available. The solo part has options for
a handbell tree or solo treble instrument (C, B
flat, or E flat) or solo bass C instrument. Enjoy
the antiphonal effects of the trombones and the
bells as they present the
HYFRYDOL tune with
interwoven interludes.

Blooming.

ending. What a fun setting this is for Level 3 and up
