On the Road Again

This bold arrangement incorporates the hymn tunes LYONS and ST. ANTHONY, both beginning with a festive air of celebration.

O Worship the King

3-7 Octave Handbells

A little faster … a little faster …. With an incredible "build" over its three minutes, this engaging piece is the ultimate in theme and variations! Greg Fisher's smile-inducing, toe-tapping original starts with a simple "Stroll", which moves into a "Ragtime Saunter", followed by a "Boogie Hop". Each section adds a little more 'oomph' until the piece concludes with a driving, all-malleted "Rock Out" finale that embodies what may have happened if Chuck Berry and his contemporaries had composed for handbells. You’ll love it with or without the optional string bass! String bass part is included, but is not reproducible; please purchase an additional copy for your bassist.

Walk Before You Run

Old-Time Promised Land

This beautiful hymn (ENGLEBURG) is presented in a very stately arrangement with the handbbells and organ blending nicely together for a strong anthem of worship.  It is available with a handbell score and a full score for director and organist.  82 measures in length, it begins and ends in G Major.

When in Our Music God is Glorified

4-5 Octave Handbells with opt. 2-3 oct. handchimes

Perform this exciting arrangement with bells alone or add optional organ, brass (Trumpet I and II, Horn, Trombone I and II, tuba, percussion and Timpani). After a 16 measure introduction, the handbells usher in the melody alone; and the other instruments chime in accompaniment shortly thereafter. In the second statement of the melody, the organ gets a solo line and the bells provide a malleted accompaniment. A few key changes (from G Major to C Major to Ab Major) keep the listener interested; the last melodic statement is broad and stately with shaking at the end of the piece. The arrangement is 88 measures.

America the Beautiful

Trumpets, trombones, timpani, voices, and organ join with the bells to present in grand style this beloved hymn of the Savior. Written for a 25th anniversary celebration, it is fully scored in "tall" chordal texture for the bells and strong passages for the other instruments. A vocal score is included in the bell score, with permission to copy the vocal for performance. Brass ensemble consists of two trumpets, two trombones, timpani.

Lift High the Cross

Bouncy, syncopated rhythms executed by mallets on tabled bells form the support fabric for the hymn melody taken from Geistliche Kirchengesange. The tune is expanded upon as well as the traditional harmonies. The score is full and keeps the ringers involved. A quieter section gives a respite from the driving syncopations before returning to them in an even more furious manner. A total of 81 measures, this score is arranged in Bb Major.

All Creatures of Our God And King

Sandra Eithun's ethereal Level 2 setting of "Amazing Grace" artfully employs the Singing Bell technique. Set for three, four, or five octaves of handbells, this arrangement is equally at home in a worship, concert, or festival setting.  It is 80 measures and is scored in F Major.

Amazing Grace

Bluesy harmonies (bell changes galore) syncopated rhythms (like a bass guitar), and well-placed, special articulations make this setting of the old gospel hymn swing. A fun challenge piece to move your intermediate bell choir up a notch. This selection is in Red River Gold's music for advanced ensembles. 80 measures in length.
