Handbell Music
My Shepherd's Amazing Gracearr. Karissa
Dennis. From arranger Karissa Dennis, here is
a delightful medley of two beloved hymns, My
Shepherd Will Supply My Need and Amazing Grace.
The singing bell technique is utilized in low chords
while LV in the melody with open intervals adds
beautiful texture over the bass. The echo technique
and optional handchimes give depth, and a lovely
surprise in the end expresses peace.

4 New BeginningsRon Mallory. This original work
is a brilliant teaching piece for beginning ringers.
In keeping with Level One guidelines, the music
does not contain any subdivision of the beat, has
one prepared handbell change, and incorporates
echoes, thumb damps, malleting, shakes, and
other special techniques. Exceptionally well written
and highly recommended!

4 Now Thank We All Our Godarr. Lloyd Larson.
This festive presentation for handbells and piano
sets a joyous mood with a flourishing keyboard

and the piano solo shines with color and interest.
Ideal for worship or concert.

4 O God, Our Help in Ages Pastarr. Ron Mallory.
High, middle, and low bells all get a turn at playing
the melody in this stately setting of the well-known
hymn tune
ST. ANNE. With just a few repeating
patterns of eighth notes and a minimum of bell
changes, this arrangement is an excellent choice
for the progressing ensemble. Optional handchimes
in the middle section provide contrast, and an
optional flute part offers a lively countermelody to
the original tune used in the introduction, interlude,
and ending sections.

O Worship the KingMichael Mazzatenta.

On the ShoreBrian Childers. Inspired by John
21, this through-composed work transforms from
bright and airy to deep and thought provoking.
Ringers will enjoy the build to the climax before
musically setting out to sea. An optional ending
before the recap of the opening melody allows you
to control the mood and timing of the piece.

l Outbursts of JoyDerek K. Hakes. This fast-
paced, exciting original composition was designed
to honor the legacy of Cynthia Dobrinski. The
rhythms are somewhat syncopated, yet not too
challenging. The judicious usage of martellato and
mallets keeps this piece rhythmically interesting
and fun to perform.

Passacaglia in C minor (Built on the Sure
Foundation)Fred Gramann. The term
'passacaglia' refers to a set of variations over a
repeating bass line, commonly in triple meter. This
original work by Fred Gramann explores a variety
of handbell textures and techniques, building
from a simple melody to more complex patterns.
Precise, delicate ringing is required, with pluck
and swings to help build momentum. Being built
on a foundational bass line, an alternative title for
worship might be Built on the Sure Foundation.
It was composed for the Ontario Guild of English
Handbell Ringers Festival in Peterborough, Ontario
in May, 2015.

original work for solo instrument and handbells.

instrument or C instrument. Perfect for concert,
recital, or church use.

l Peace in Our TimeFelix Mendelssohn/John
A. Behnke. An arrangement by John A. Behnke
of
MENDELSSOHN DA PACEM (Grant Peace, We
Pray, in Mercy, Lord) for 3-5 octave handchimes
or handbells. Level II. The gorgeous, flowing
accompaniment supports Felix Mendelssohn's
beautiful tune. Handchimes are preferred, giving
this piece a warm, peaceful feeling. Use this prayer
for peace at any time, but especially at times of
need for hope and comfort.

Precious Lord, Take My Handarr. Cathy
Moklebust. This versatile arrangement of Thomas
A. Dorsey's beloved hymn includes optional
parts for B-flat clarinet, bass, and drum set. The
introduction is very slow and free with the melody
being played by handchimes and accompanied
by singing bells. What follows is a relaxed gospel
treatment of the hymn using a malleted bass line.
The bass handchimes take the hymn in the next
verse, accompanied by thumb-damped upper
treble bells. A grand final verse uses plenty of LV in
the bass, full chords, and an improvisatory clarinet
solo. A brief return to the singing bells and melody
in the handchimes brings this soulful arrangement
to its final rest.

is a soothing, lyrical composition with flexible
instrumental options. While the piece may be rung

optional instrument(s) adds much to the musical
context. Recollection is excellent for teaching
musicality and expressive musicianship. It will
provide meditative moments in worship, and be
effective in concerts and festivals.
