Not to be missed, this exquisite setting of the hymn tune ABERYSTWYTH is lyric, haunting, and rich in harmonic depth.

Approachable by intermediate ensembles, it will challenge all ensembles to bring their utmost musicality to the performance!

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

This beautiful arrangement of the beloved tune WOODWORTH is a joy to ring and a delight to hear. With a lilting feel and the occasional unexpected harmony, it brings fresh life to this old standby. Traveling through different moods and keys, the tune is thoroughly explored throughout the course of the piece.

Just as I Am

Jubilate Music Group

Lyrical and flowing, this lovely setting combines In the Cross of Christ I Glory with O Sacred Head Now Wounded. The PASSION CHORALE melody appears in dotted quarter-note rhythms, creating a compound meter on top of the established 3/4 meter. The creativity of using this rhythm combined with harmonic shifts makes this an interesting and worthwhile selection anytime during Lent.

A Lenten Meditation

3-5 Octave Handbells w/opt. D6-D7 HC

Each phrase of this traditional Lenten piece is separated by brief passages of original material.  The two melodies fit comfortably together and a smooth transition is heard between each section.  With careful attention to dynamics and accidentals, this meditative selection is beautiful.

O Sacred Head Now Wounded

Choristers Guild

While rhythmically simple, added musical elements, handchimes, and techniques engage listeners while creating opportunities to foster growth in a beginning ensemble. This well-known hymn is always well received as a thought-provoking backdrop during the Lenten season or communion services. The optional suspended bells that bookend the arrangement create a feel of steeple bells in the distance calling worshipers together. Both editions are compatible. Optional 2-3 octave handchimes.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

2-3 Octave Handbells

From the Top Music

A truly gorgeous, sensitive, and creative setting for handbells and cello, this arrangement of the familiar FINLANDIA begins with cello playing the solo melody line followed by handchimes and then handbells as subtle accompaniment. Cello and handbell lines share the melody throughout, alternately accompanying each other. Subtle rhythmic and LV sections add texture and interest as the piece evolves. Dynamics and expression help build to a maestoso musical climax, which then gradually leads to a calm, peaceful, and comforting ending. Intricate yet accessible, this piece will definitely become a permanent part of your group’s worship and concert repertoire. The cello part is required for performance.

Be Still, My Soul

5 Octave Handbells , 5 Oct. HC

The beautifully haunting Lenten melody of MARTYRDOM begins softly, moves to a more reflective verse, and is then followed by a climactic verse of love and consecration before returning to the simplicity of the beginning. Effective use of LV, shakes, mart-lifts, and a minor-key middle verse helps to express different moods throughout the piece. Editions are compatible for massed ringing.

Ring Together Lenten Hymns

This creative and fun arrangement of the familiar spiritual begins with mallet clicks that set the tone for the piece. The melody appears over a rhythmically malleted bass line with a bit of a blues or jazzy feel. Lots of syncopations make this a learning opportunity for most Level 2 groups, but the end result will be a fun piece for concert or worship.

Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land

Grassy Meadow Music

This haunting setting of a beloved chant is a great choice for the ensemble looking for something different and versatile.
