A Note from the Editor

Dear friends,

We’re delighted to share our newest music for handbells and handchimes for spring 2020! Hopefully the index of music by season/genre on this page will be a helpful planning tool.

Our new releases include music for a wide variety of experience levels and numbers of bells – ranging from level 1- to level 5, and from 12 bells to 7 octaves. The Chime On and Elation reproducible collections will be extremely useful in both school and church settings. And for those with smaller numbers of available ringers, or with ringers who enjoy additional ringing opportunities, the Hymns and Spiritual Songs reproducible collection offers wonderful new resources.

For advanced community groups, our new

options for concert programming. This release includes La Vie en Rose and Saint Louis Blues March.

Explore, there’s something for everyone!

Happy ringing!Kathy LowrieChoristers Guild Handbell Editor

Psalm 150

Let Everything that Breathes

Praise the Lord

Master Ringer SERIESLet Everything that Breathes Praise the Lord – Moklebust Level 4

Master Ringer Series • This delightful, joyful original composition is based on the words of Psalm 150. The psalm text is printed above the handbell part as a creative reference for the ringers and director. The main theme is presented by handchimes and singing bells in the slow, mystical introduction. An exciting, driving rhythmic section follows, accompanied by percussion, with various handbell techniques, multi-meters, and key changes weaving in and out. A lush and lyrical section provides a calming respite, before a brief return to the mystical feel of the beginning. A grand, glorious ending makes this piece a must-have for the church or concert handbell ensemble.

Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Reproducible handbell arrangements of hymns and spirituals for twelve bells (F5 to C7) with optional piano

This reproducible collection provides delightful arrangements of hymns and spirituals for 12 bells with optional keyboard ac-companiment. The pieces may be played by six ringers using standard bell assignments. If some or all ringers wish to ring 4-in- hand, it may be played by as few as three ringers. Sug-gestions for various assignment options are included.

Not only do these arrangements present opportunities for ringers to learn 4-in-hand ringing, it also offers satisfying music for services, schools and other events that may be played with fewer ringers.

Praise – Gramann Level 2+

Composed with massed ringing in mind, this original work lends itself equally well to being rung by a single handbell choir. It is composed in the Mixolydian Mode, thus the white keys on the piano from G to G with a lowered 7thdegree (F natural instead of the expected F#). The title can be easily adapted to different situations. Another teaching opportunity occurs on two occasions in this piece where “hemiola” is employed: m. 21-22 and m. 53-54. Help ringers to understand that two groups of three beats are replaced by three groups of two beats with the resulting accents on beats 1 & 3 in the first measure and beat 2 in the second measure.

Sweet Hour of Prayer – Fast Level 2

This arrangement of Sweet Hour of Prayer will work well as a prelude, an offertory, or during a time of reflection in a worship service. It would also be a lovely addition to a sacred concert. Teaching opportunities include encouraging ringers to bring out melodic sections (such as the handchime melody beginning with the pickup to measure 5, and the bass melody in measures 25-28.)

Rejoice, the Lord Is King! – Compton Level 4-

Built on a rhythmic motif, Matthew Compton gives us a fresh and joyous take on a well-loved hymn. A contrasting middle section provides a moment of reflection, and a soaring counter melody carries the piece through to a rousing conclusion. Rejoice, the Lord Is King! will provide a celebratory addition to Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday, Easter/Eastertide, as well as other times in the church year. It will also make an excellent concert opener or closer.

La Vie en Rose – Gugliemi/arr. Eithun Level 4

Concert Showstoppers Series • Written in France in 1945 and popularized in the U.S. during the 1950’s in the film Sabrina, starring Au-drey Hepburn, this rich and sensitive signature song of singer Edith Piaf has been set for handbells and handchimes by Sandra Eithun. The literal meaning of the piece is “life in pink,” but can be translated to living life in rosy hues. The beauty of the lyrical lines and lush chords will be a lovely addition to any concert or advanced festival track, and is often instantly recognizable.

There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy – Buckwalter Level 3-

This tranquil, flowing arrangement by Karen Lakey Buckwalter is based on the 19th century American tune known as LORD, REVIVE US. The opening measures consist of an original motif which is interwoven throughout the piece as we travel through two verses of the tune and end with the original motif. Several themes of the text are: God’s mercy is as wide as the sea, God’s grace is for everyone and God’s love is broader than what the human mind can measure. These basic beliefs of the Christian faith are prominent in this hymn making There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy an excellent option for many Sundays throughout the year.

Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven – Moklebust Level 2+

The John Goss tune, LAUDA ANIMA, is the source of this majestic arrangement for 2-3 or 3-6 octaves which is appropriate throughout the church year. Beginning with a fanfare introduction, the first stanza is presented in a powerful, straight-forward style. Two softer, more flow-ing stanzas are next, featuring LV accompaniments, a treble counter-melody, the tune in the middle range, and an eighth note obbligato. A crescendo leads into the fanfare sounds of the introduction and a brilliant, shimmering conclusion.

Colors of Joy – Austin Level 1+

As with joy, handbells can take on many colors. This composition brings out many different “colors” of the instrument. The variety of techniques are great for developing ringers to learn all the sounds of the instrument. Rehearsing in sections will be helpful, practicing the similar sections together. For example, the “A” material found in measures 1-8, 9-16, 41-48 and 65-72 is essentially the same. By playing all of those “A” sections, the choir will realize that they already have a large portion of the piece learned. Ringers and listeners are sure to enjoy the many “Colors of Joy” heard throughout the piece.

Good Christians All, Rejoice and Sing – Hurlbutt Level 2

Arranger Patricia Hurlbutt effectively captures the dance-like quality of the 16th century tune, GELOBT SEI GOTT. In addition to ex-pressing the triumph of Easter, encourage ringers to create a lightness and buoyancy by observing the strong downbeat and lighter upbeats of the triple meter. Marts are prominent in the middle section which leads to a key change and a grand final stanza.

Saint Louis Blues March – Handy/arr. Mizell Level 5

Concert Showstoppers Series • W. C. Handy is often referred to as the Father of the Blues. His ever popular “Saint Louis Blues” was first published in 1914, and has been performed by an impressive list of artists through the decades. “Saint Louis Blues March” was arranged for band by Jerry Gray in 1948, and was first played during the Big Band era by groups led by Glenn Miller and Tex Beneke. The stunning excitement of that band arrangement has now been brought to handbells! This stirring march utilizes a great variety of handbell techniques and offers wonderful challenges for all ringers.

Arranged by

Anna Laura Page

Wade in the Water

Wade in the Water is a collection of �ve familiar tunes that have “water” in their theme. �e handbell parts in each piece are written for 12 bells, and are playable by 3 to 6 ringers. �ey may be played by 6 ringers with two bells each, or as few as 3 ringers if all are ringing four-in-hand.

�e accessible piano accompaniments are a lovely addition but are totally optional. �ese settings are intended to provide fun pieces that may be used in various venues with fewer ringers.

�e collection includes both “full scores” for a conductor and/or pianist, and ex-tracted handbell parts for the ringers. All pages may be reproduced by the original purchaser.
