Gospel Roundup

3-5 Octave Handbells w/opt. 3-5 Oct. HC

From the Top Music

Known for his arrangements of American hymn tunes, Robert Lau's setting of I Love to Tell the Story is beautifully transcribed for handbells. Mostly rung with LV passages and perfectly-placed shakes, the setting begins with sonorous singing bells and LV bells in the treble supporting handchimes ringing the verse, which then moves to bells ringing the chorus. A legato and introspective second verse moves to a glorious and thrilling final chorus. Those familiar with the words of this hymn are sure to be silently singing along with this setting, as it remains true to the original hymn.

I Love to Tell the Story

4-7 Octave Handbells

This beautiful, expressive setting of the spirituals, Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley and We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace ,will enhance your Lenten journey with exceptional harmonies and flowing melody lines. The use of pluck in the middle section is well-placed and lends contrast and interest in this showpiece achievable by most handbell choirs.

Walk Through the Valley

Jeffers Handbell Supply, Inc

This processional, based on Beethoven's Ode to Joy, has a bell tree of six bells playing the melody. Accompaniment can be either a 2-5 octave bell choir, a 2-5 octave chime choir, or both. Some parts are simpler to ring, allowing for easier parts to be given to the "processionally challenged" ringer. Three of the four phrases are nearly identical, so memorization is simplified. This processional in C major can be used in any season with a small or large choir.

Processional Joy

Widely sung throughout Asia, one could say this song was the Asian counterpart to We Are the World, reminding us that we are all connected and should all be friends.

Ah, Holy Jesus

National Handbell

This bell tree solo with handbell choir is an exuberant and joy-filled romp toward the place that welcomes far-flung family members back into the fold. It calls to mind the biblical story of the prodigal son. The contrast between the bell tree melody, the syncopated, mostly malleted bass line, and the countermelody played on chimes is simply stunning. The brief middle section is more legato, allowing a moment to reflect on the importance of home before the listener is propelled ever onward toward home. This is a fabulous choice for concerts and services with an inclusive or "home" theme. This piece is composed so that no duplicate bells are needed: the bell tree ringer uses C6 to C7, the choir uses C4–B5 handbells (opt. C3–B4) and C4–C7 chimes (opt. C3–G3 and D7–C8). A separate bell tree part is printed at the end of the piece which is not reproducible, so please purchase a copy for the bell tree. Winner of the 2025 Area 10 Bell Tree Composition Contest.
