With mallet rolls and clicks, finger snaps and thumb damps, this well-known theme is fun to ring! Sure to lighten any concert but especially around Halloween! 11531194 3-5 Octave Handbells . . . . . . L3+ 4.25 Clappity Bump—Michael J. Glasgow. Spooky yet charming, this novelty piece includes bowed chimes and bells, slamming bell-case lids, and the buzzing klocken carta technique. The title is an onomatopoeia based on an impetuous little four-note figure inspired by a haunted-house coffin worthy of the mischief of Scooby-Doo! Giving new meaning to "out of the box," this piece is a fun balance of creepy and silly, ending with a raucous dance party perfect for theme concerts. It's just dying to be your next encore! 11683555 5-8 Octave Handbells . . . . . . . L5 6.50 Fire Dance—Michael T. Blanton. This high-spirited original work will be exciting for those who enjoy quick tempos! Much of the bass is malleted; however, several measures have bass, A3 and up, rung at tempo. Dynamic changes are thrown into the mix which will make this quite exciting for the audience. We suspect youth groups will love performing this one! 11384148 5-7 Octave Handbells . . . . . . . L4 4.25 Haunted House—Scott Pfitzinger. This unique piece is a musical walk-through of a haunted house. In addition to using a variety of techniques, such as thumb damps, mallet rolls, mallet work, and shakes, spooky sound effects like whispering, screams, or even an evil laugh are encouraged as you play. Creative and fun – sure to be a hit. 10911598 3-6 Octave Handbells . . . . . . L2+ 4.95 HeartBeat—Brian Childers. A thrilling original composition that takes ringers and audiences on an electrifying journey. Beginning with two malleted eighth notes, the heartbeat grows and morphs as more bells are added, building to the excitement of a powerful B section. Eventually, the heartbeat becomes a gently rung part of a beautiful melody soaring above an underlying triplet pattern. The B section makes another appearance before the A section returns, racing towards the finish, but not before a surprise flatline, leading to a spine-tingling and breathtaking conclusion. 11595305 3-7 Octave Handbells opt. HC & Aux. Bells . . . . . . . L4+ 7.50 In the Hall of the Mountain King—Edvard Grieg/arr. Kathleen Wissinger. Enter the majestic mountain domain in this lively rendition of the iconic finale to Grieg's "Peer Gynt" Suite No. 1. True to the orchestral original, this piece starts out soft, dark, and wary, then gains in confidence, volume, and speed until it is almost frantic at the end. Perfect as a showy little palate cleanser in a school or community concert! 11361788 3-5 Octave Handbells . . . . . . . L3 5.00 Intro to Also Sprach Zarathustra—Richard Strauss/ arr. Ron Mallory. Strauss' 1896 tone poem has become inextricably associated with spaceflight since its use in the 1968 science-fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey." This arrangement simplifies the rhythmic notation for easier learning by beginning- and intermediate-level handbell choirs without diminishing the musical power of the piece. 34 measures. 11161786 3-7 Octave Handbells . . . . . . . L2 3.95 The Mysterious Stranger (Holy Mysteries)— John C. Dare. Ideal for six or seven ringers, the haunting melody moves throughout the two-octave range. A slow tempo and a thin bass line make the bass clef part feasible for one ringer and very easy for two ringers. Although completely workable for G4 to F6, the optional C4 and F4 add richness. Bell changes for E5 and B5 plus many eighth notes put it at Level 2. C minor, 55 measures. 11630721 2 Octave Handbells opt. C4, F4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . L2 3.75 Picture Pieces for Young Ringers—Kirtsy Mitchell. Young ringers have fun while learning basic ringing skills. This reproducible book contains six pieces ranging from Level 1 to Level 2. Each piece paints a musical picture of its title: Birthday Cake; Processional; Clouds: Puppets Parade; Three Monkeys Playing and Scary Things. Pieces are subtitled for sacred performance as well. 10076237 3 Octave Handbells Collection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . L2 20.00 Scherzo—Matthew Compton. Composed for a middle school handbell festival, this is a fun, easy- to-learn piece that all will enjoy. Give it a Halloween title and it will be perfect for a fall concert where you can imagine tiptoeing around a haunted house! A great concert piece for all – especially for kids! 11521521 3-5 Octave Handbells . . . . . .
