One of the most exciting activities that you can engage in with  your handbell choir is to write an arrangement or original composition for them, and have it played. Whether you are arranging or composing, you deal with the same concepts of scoring for this idiom. It is therefore hoped that this book will be of value to the composer as well as the arranger. While not the final word on the subject, this book will provide a good starting point and hopefully provide a few ideas to begin the creative process.
