This title is a collection of two-octave handbell arrangements. All of the titles are on treble clef. These titles are for a mixture of Lent Palm Sunday and Easter; and they are mostly fairly short not more than a few lines.They would be excellent for spicing up hymns in congregational singing. Titles in the collection include: Ah Dearest Jesus ? Beneath the Cross of Jesus ? O Sacred Head Now Wounded.? All Glory Laud and Honor ?Hosanna Loud Hosanna ? Were You There ? Alleluia the Strife Is O'er ? and Jesus Christ Is Risen Today and more.

Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival_x000D_ in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open and stately before launching with_x000D_ rhythmic energy into a Bluegrass-infused toe-tapper. It brilliantly pairs the_x000D_ Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (?I Take My Refuge in the Lord?) with a_x000D_ Daniel Teasley hymn of similar assurance. Marts, mallets, plucks, ring-touches_x000D_ and more are sure to excite your concert audiences and congregations alike; and_x000D_ the optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass, and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be_x000D_ added in any combination for extra charm!
