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

Handbells Bell Tree with Piano

This bell tree descant to the familiar hymn Jesus Christ Is Risen Today (also Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, Alleluia) adds to the special excitement of Easter Sunday's opening hymn. Just when your choir can't add "one more piece" to its Easter offering, one ringer can add that extra zing when bells play with congregational singing. This descant can be used with the same hymns found in the Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian hymnals.

This Little Light Of Mine

Series

GIA Publications

This uplifting spiritual for Christmas or general use is arranged for bell choir with handchimes – plus a bell tree! The upper bells are used for the bell tree, so only one set of bells is needed. A malleted rhythm in the bass supports the melody as it playfully weaves between the bell tree and the treble bells. The handchimes are optional, but their use is very much encouraged. A separate bell tree part is included in the edition.
