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

Ensemble

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.
