the third features a four-part round with flute,
cello, optional handchimes, and the singing bell
technique. The final stanza is full and glorious,

J
esus Loves Mearr. Michael Glasgow.
Recall with your congregation the timeless truth
of Jesus' love with this tender arrangement of
William Bradbury's children's song, scored here
with many performance options. It can be played
with two bell choirs - a 2-3 octave group along
with your 3-6 octave adult group - or either
group can play alone with piano accompaniment.
If you have a children's bell choir, use them on
handchimes in the 2-octave version with piano.
In fact, you can feature this hymn in this setting
every year for Home and Family services and try it
a different way each time.

easy swing, lively melody and energetic plucks. A

"the walls came tumblin' down!"

oshua Fit the Battle of JerichoValerie
W.Stephenson. A spunky new treatment is given
to the popular spiritual in this well executed
arrangement. Two mallets per ringer are required,
as the bells are to be malleted throughout the piece.
Mallet clicks (striking the sticks together) are also
employed, blanketing the backdrop. A shout of
"Jericho" echoes past as the wild ride crests and
then falls into an intense denouement.

the same time. Highly recommended!

section, In the Garden is rung on handchimes,
both providing contrast and reminding us of the
varying emotions of life's journey and of God's
presence through them all.
