Gaudete literally means rejoice in Latin and is a sacred Christmas carol that was thought to have been composed in the 16th century. The 3rd Sunday of Advent is sometimes called Gaudete Sunday.

The piece is lively and spirited and uses LV and mixed meter throughout. Perfect for Advent and Christmas services and concerts.

The First Noel

This lively and spirited original piece for handbells is filled with lots of exciting techniques like thumb damps, plucking, swings, mart lifts, echoes, and a shake.

Fanfare Intrada

Christmas songs God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Fum, Fum, Fum are combined in what will become an audience favorite.

Westminster Chimes

Handbells Ensemble 4-5 Ringers

This jazzy little setting of the well known hymn begins with a catchy opening which draws us into the rhythmic melody. Your bass ringers groove to their malleted bass accompaniment. The middle section provides quiet contrast with use of handchimes. Then comes a surprise key change and everyone rocking through the melody one last time before a Louis Armstrong "O Ya" ending. Ringers and audience alike will both love it.
