O Come Emmanuel

O Come, O Come Emmanuel is an ancient Latin hymn associated with the Vespers services leading up to Christmas. This 3-5 octave handbell arrangement by Mark Lewis imitates the tradition of Latin plainsong but is fully modern in conception. This arrangement is not too extreme in terms of notes and rhythms, however it incorporates some complex harmonies and will require some very creative part assignments. It uses the singing bell technique and incorporates handchimes as well.
