Handbell Music
Ring in the Season!Douglas E. Wagner.
Fourteen popular carol tunes are presented in
seven creative medleys, designed for the beginning
bell choir and intended to cheer and inspire both
congregations and concert audiences. None of
these arrangements present undue technical
demands, and ringers will encounter neither
accidentals, bell/chime changes, nor subdivisions
of the beat. Each arrangement is a fresh-sounding
gem, solidly scored to foster confident ringing, and
quite easy for any ensemble to prepare quickly.

Ring with Six Percussionarr. Martha Lynn
Thompson. Expanding the 12 bell concept, these
hymn tune or carol settings use 14-17 bells and
can be rung by six ringers, with or without the use of
4-in-hand technique. A seventh person (perhaps the
director) is needed for the simple percussion part.
Although each piece can stand alone without the
percussion part, the instruments add much to the
nature of each piece and should be used. Suggested
assignments for each player are provided for every
selection. Songs Include: He Is Born; Holy Manna;
Jesus' Hands Were Kind Hands; Now the Green
Blade Riseth (Sing We Now of Christmas); Patapan;
'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime.
