Bell Descants for Easter Hymns Set II

This is the second set of five bell descants written for five favorite Easter hymns. These are flexible and reproducible descants written out both with keyboard accompaniment and with a separate traditional bell score. These descants can be used with congregational singing, choral performances or vocal and instrumental solos. Using from 11 to 15 bells from a standard two octave set of bells, these descants can be used with the songs from your own hymnal, or with the included keyboard accompaniment parts. Hymns included are: *Thine Is the Glory (Judas Macabeus)

Llanfair (Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise/ Praise the Lord His Glories Show),

Christ Arose (Low in the Grave He Lay/ Up from the Grave He Arose),

Come Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain (Ave Verum Virginum)

This Joyful Eastertide (Vruechten).

Performance suggestions are included, and three pieces are written in two keys to match the keys of most modern hymnals. These descants are at an early intermediate level of playability.
