Written for 3 -5 octave handbell choir or 3-5 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This beautiful original tune, written in honor of the composer's brother, is a perfect choice for a moment of quiet introspection. The haunting melody, underscored by lush harmonies, gives a feeling of calm and depth with a subtle hint of motion. A more chromatic, harmonically-diverse section provides a nice aural diversion midway through before the piece returns to the feeling of the opening. A fantastic choice for the group looking to work on it is musicality.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2-. This quiet, reflective arrangement by Patricia Hurlbutt is ideal for any calm, meditative moment in worship.

An unexpected key change adds intensity and a sense of urgency before returning to the opening key and fading prayerfully away.

Following this, the piece settles back into a peaceful ending with a return to the handchimes, accompanied by suspended malleted bells.

The work begins in C major, reaches a climactic E-flat major peak, and ebbs quietly away with material drawn from the beginning.

Christmas hymn With suspended bells quietly calling, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, the scene is set for the urgency and excitement that is to follow - proclaim the good news that He Is Born! The faster tempo, minor backdrop and tabled mallet accompaniment drive the piece forward with the urgent message of the Christ Child's birth. The contrasting middle section offers a warmer, more thoughtful statement that includes lingering LV passages and optional handchimes. The piece closes by reprising the spirited section and is capped off with a celebratory fanfare in major tonalities.
