Ding Dong! Merrily on High—Matthew Compton.
An opening peal figure gives way to the theme of the
traditional carol, all in 10/8 time. A more standard verse
in 4/4 gives way once more to 10/8 as the piece comes
in for a raucous conclusion. Unexpected and compelling
harmonies abound throughout, giving this old carol a new
feeling. A great choice for advanced ensembles looking
for a chance to work on mixed meter.

Hallelujah—Leonard Cohen/arr. Joel Raney.
Known around the globe, this Leonard Cohen title has
become a standard inspirational song, leading Joel Raney
to set it for 3-5 octave handbells and optional handchimes
and synthesizer. In this wonderfully emotional and moving
rendition, ringers will enjoy the serenity and beauty of the
steady eighth note patterns that accompany the familiar
melody. Its status as a "secular hymn" makes it a cross-
over piece that is highly recommended for any concert or
worship setting. The optional synthesizer part enhances
the overall haunting atmosphere.

Humoresque—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Elo Keskula.
A great, lighter addition to a concert program, this
transcription of a beloved piano work by Dvorak is sure
to be an audience pleaser. It will take some careful work
to make sure that the rests are clean and the rhythms are
sharp, but your listeners will think it's worth the effort.

I'm a Believer—arr. Sandra Eithun. This Monkees'
hit from 1966 surged back into the collective pop
consciousness when it was covered by Smash Mouth for
the soundtrack to Shrek. The driving rhythms and that ever-
popular catchy tune will surely be uplifting for both ringers
and audiences of all ages. Fun malleted sections and
chimes adding background fill create a trip back in time
where you'll find it hard not to sing along. Not to be missed!

Lakestorm—Michael W. Glasgow. This is a tour de
force of high-energy, rhythmically intense, dynamically
stunning concert music. Using the flavors of Irish reels
and jigs, Michael Glasgow gives us something reminiscent
of Riverdance, and the marriage of an advanced violin/
fiddle part and some fearless ringers will leave audiences
breathless. An optional Celtic drum part adds dazzling
interest to this brilliant showstopper.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head—
Burt Bacharach/arr. Hart Morris.
This is amazing!
Hart Morris has taken a great standard and orchestrated
it in a stellar way. With bells and optional handchimes,
Morris adds B-flat clarinet, bass and drums. From the
starting admonition to "Swing it!" to the final chord, you
get the sense that this is fun, almost a party. Yet the
musical and artistic integrity of the piece is second to
none. Highly recommended!
