Peace on Earth

From the Top Music

Four favorite Christmas melodies are combined into one amazing setting perfect for any holiday or worship program. Beginning with descending chords reminiscent of tower bells, the timeless SUSSEX CAROL melody is heard first on handchimes, then handbells. The piece then segues to a malleted and rhythmic OLD BRETON melody that becomes an ostinato pattern supporting an augmented FIRST NOEL melody rung in octaves. Descending bell chords reemerge and IN DULCI JUBILO is featured before bell peals end the piece. Enjoy this creative setting that is certain to become a favorite!

What Child Is This?

Handbells Bell Tree with Piano & Rehearsal CD

Copyright Year

A new twist on the beloved Christmas carol, this arrangement is fierce and holds nothing back. Yet it is accessible and not overly complicated to pull off. Replete with thrilling twists and turns, including an unexpected brilliant major-key section, this version of the Christmas classic is an absolute showstopper.

Carol of the Bells

3-7 Octave Handbells

The AGEHR, Inc.

This wonderful and versatile arrangement is designed for beginning 2-5 octave bell or chime choirs, both small and large. The tune is heard three times, with the second occurrence featuring the melody in the middle bells. The beautiful, tuneful countermelody that introduces the piece reemerges between each statement of the tune.

Away in a Manger

JAB Publishing

This arrangement blends a Bavarian Christmas carol, Ich lag und schlief, with the well-known classic carol Silent Night. Two timbres are heard as both bells and chimes have opportunity to play. There is also an option to add a string orchestra (four or five players) to this arrangement for a beautiful Christmas concert piece. The full score with orchestral parts is also available.

Fantasy on a Bavarian Carol

Part of Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil, opus 37, also known as The Vespers, this work is characterized by its serene yet rich tone. Voices are carefully layered to create a sense of spiritual depth and tranquility. Since the work centers in the bass and lower treble, alternate assignments are given, and it may be played by handbells, handchimes, or a combination of the two. Although it is generally associated with Christmas, it can be performed and appreciated year-round in both sacred and concert settings.

Bogoroditse Devo

3-7 Octave Handbells Bells or HC

From its delicate opening and closing phrases to its joyous and full chordal passages, this straightforward arrangement of the popular carol is full of dynamic contrast. No special techniques are required, and bell changes are kept to a minimum. The unique closing chord creates a bit of sparkling freshness. Both editions are compatible for massed ringing.

Back by popular demand, this classic arrangement of the French Carol Noel Nouvelet has alternate texts which allow it to be used at Christmas and Easter. Malleted bass rhythms open the piece and continue beneath the tune, driving it forward. A full sounding arrangement, this one keeps every hand busy yet still is very workable. An excellent and fun arrangement for everyone!

Now the Green Blade Riseth

Ring in the Christ Child's birth with this innovative bell setting of the quintessential Christmas carol. A touch of drama and intrigue is added by shifting chords underneath the melody, along with martellato and pluck at the end of phrases. Opening with the soft tolling of a single bell, then building to a grand finale, this wonderful arrangement gives ringers the opportunity for great expressiveness.

Concordia Publishing House

This collection of time-honored Christmas carols is perfect for the busy Christmas season when you are shorthanded for church services or would like to travel with a small group to other venues like schools, nursing homes, or business events. Each piece uses only twelve bells, spanning F5 to C7, and includes suggested assignments for each bell. Because not every piece is in the key of F, this collection offers a wider variety of harmonic possibilities while still maintaining a small number of ringers.

Four Christmas Hymns For Twelve Bells, Volume 2

Handbells Ensemble Collection Set 1

In this ethereal setting, the Holst tune CRANHAM is set evocatively using singing bells and random ringing to support the melody. Accessible to most choirs, there are no bell changes.
