A show piece for an advanced choir.

Variations and Fugue

4-5 Octave Handbells

This transcription of the famous Canon in D was done for the Handbell Ringers of Japan. It is written for five octaves, but the upper fifth-octave notes are used sparingly. For a change, the midrange bells frequently get to play the melody.

Canon In D

5 Octave Handbells

In this bell adaptation of Faure's In Prayer, the wonderful melody is supported by colorful arpeggios as only Faure can write. Set in G major, though with many accidentals.

En Priere

4-6 Octave Handbells

Many different techniques are combined to make this a festive setting of the hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus.

Crown Of Glory

3-5 Octave Handbells

The first section of this piece uses a whole tone scale as its basis then continues using regular keys and more traditional harmonies. A variety of moods and bell ringing techniques used.

Metamorphosis

Basically a 3 octave piece with a few optional bass notes, this piece is majestic and useful in church or concerts. The organ part is integral to the piece. The bell part begins with stately half note chords while the organ plays the melody. This powerful piece is not to be missed!

Accolade For Bells

3-4 Octave Handbells & Organ

This generally quiet piece with a tender melody supported by an arpeggiated accompaniment figure is a good choice to work on musical skills. LV is the main technique. While there is a little mallet usage, leaving them out would make this ringable by handchimes.

Devotion

3 Octave Handbells

This chordal, rhythmically easy setting is ideal for the less experienced choir.

O Worship The King

3 Octave Handbells opt. G3, A3

In this delightful arrangement of the traditional French tune, harmony coupled with melodic placement assure a joyous ring. Arranged in C Major, this piece is marked "with joy!" and begins with a forte that quickly crescendos to a fortissimo. Most of this 57-measure piece, in fact, is played loudly in character with the joyous season for which it was written.

Angels We Have Heard On High

2 Octave Handbells

This is a simple, ringable selection built around a four note ostinato. Note values do not drop below the quarter note, however, the tempo marking is quarter = 144. This piece would be good for a beginning to medium choir if played slightly under tempo. Few bell changes are required.

Bells Of Praise

3-4 Octave Handbells

In the majority of the piece, the melody is supported by underlying eighth note arpeggios. The dramatic statement of the last stanza begins powerfully but ends quietly. This version of Amazing Grace is written in A Flat Major, different than most of the other arrangements in F.

Amazing Grace

Written for a youth choir, this arrangement is simple using mallets at the beginning and ending.

A good piece for the beginning and less experienced choir, this original work is in ABA form with a repeated pattern throughout the A sections. The middle section contrasts with gentle rhythm and a key change. Basically this is a 2-octave piece with optional notes for the 3rd and 4th octaves. It is 80 measures in C Major.

Alleluia

2-4 Octave Handbells

Ensemble

This is an instructional guide for four-in-hand and six-in-hand ringing. Sixteen selections written for a four-in-hand ensemble are included. The music can also be played by conventional two-octave handbell choirs and is particularly effective in portable situations as each ringer only needs to hold two bells.

Four In Hand Handbell Ensembles

Handbells Ensemble Collection 4-in-hand Quartet

This title is a chordal composition for 3 octaves with four optional bass notes: G3, F3, G and Bb3. The layout is spread out making it easy for everyone to read. Although in cut time, the half note = 60 and note values do not drop below the quarter note, making this piece usable by beginning choirs.

The Bells Their Lofty Strain

Ringing control is necessary because of dynamic levels.

In Quiet Faith

Your choir will receive a thorough workout and a standing ovation when they perform this famous rhapsody.

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Three Easter tunes, each separately arranged, are included in this easy collection. Titles include: Jesus Christ Is Risen Today; Welcome, Happy Morning and Thine Is The Glory.

Three Easter Hymns

3 Octave Collection

Based on the melody associated with the text Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing, this setting is scored with very full chords and uses altered harmonies.

Prelude On "Nettleton"

Written in honor of the 200th year of U.S. Methodism, Carl Wiltse uses the tunes HYFRYDOL and Mendelssohn's Hark, the Herald Angels Sing to create a wonderful medley!
