A song with shepherds that's not about Christmas? Yes! Here is one of Percy Grainger's most famous British folk song arrangements for piano which has been arranged for handbells. Shepherd's Hey is actually the name of a particular dance step in the traditional Morris dance of early modern England. This challenging but exciting, jaunty, and fiery arrangement will work very well as an opener or closer to any concert program and will absolutely delight listeners with plenty of chromaticism and handbell techniques. Work it out slowly in the beginning, then gradually work to increase the tempo to an unbelievable frenzy!
