A Classical Piece (5 Octave) Handbells

Original classical style composition. A challenging but accessible title. A really neat middle section for mallets. For 5 octaves handbells, advanced level. The title reflects both the style and form of the composition.

A Joyful Song (2 Octave) Handbells

Popular title and top seller. For 2 octaves. Originally written for a senior adult choir as a teaching aid for learning plucking and tolling techniques. A short and catchy piece. Good for children and senior groups as well as a good plucking and tolling review piece. (Level 2).

A Mighty God (5 Octave) Handbells

Popular Title A highly syncopated piece. For 5 Octave Handbell Choirs. Based on the familiar hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (EIN FESTE BURG). (Level 4+ to 6-). A similar title for Solo Piano is available in the catalog.

Ah, Holy Jesus (5 Octaves) Handbells

For 5 Octave Handbell Choir. An arrangement of the hymn tune HERZLIEBSTER JESU by Johann Cruger.

Alone In The Morning Handbells

An original composition for 5 octave handbells. Imagine the solitude of being alone in the morning in the countryside. Sometimes a solemn time, sometimes with some excitement and even sometimes somewhat somber. Church groups may want to use the title Morning Praise.

American Patrol (5 Octaves) Handbells

Arrangement for 5 octave handbells of this classic American piece.

Away In A Manger (3 Octave w/pno) Handbells

For 3 Octaves handbells with piano. Written for a small beginning youth group. The traditional (American) tune (MUELLER) with some nice harmonies. You may also want to try this with handchimes. (Level 2).

Away In A Manger (4 Octave w/pno) Handbells

For 4 Octaves handbells with piano. Adapted from the 3-octave version. Adds some mart, mallet, echo and similar techniques. The traditional (American) tune (MUELLER) with some nice harmonies. You may also want to try this with handchimes. (Level 2+).

Awesome God (3 Octaves) Handbells

For 3-Octave handbells. A setting for handbells of the popular praise chorus. The biggest (and only) challenges with this piece is getting the rhythm right at the speed required as well as the unusual use of accidentals. If anyone wants to know why I left it in C major instead of a key signature of F minor, drop me a note.

Christmas Medley (5 Octaves) Handbells

For Handbells. For your Advent or Christmas use. Medley includes: O Come O Come Emmanuel; The First Nowell; O Little Town of Bethlehem; Joy To The World. Featured on our album Sacred Favorites for Solo Organ. Different settings of this arrangement are available for Organ or Orchestra.

Crucifixus from J.S. Bach Mass In B minor (3 Octave) Handbells

Lenten Piece (5 Octave) Handbells
