Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 2+. Spiritual. With an opening figure that invokes train wheels rolling along a track, this arrangement of the well-known spiritual is as much fun to ring as it is to hear. The melody passes between all ranges of the bells, giving everyone a chance to shine. Varied techniques add an element of interest, and both the key change and the occasional accidental give ringers a chance to practice bell changes. A fun number all around!

3-5 Octaves, Level 3. Bright harmonies and contrasting textures dominate this arrangement of the familiar hymn.

Several key changes and the occasional accidental provide just enough challenge to keep all ringers busy. A great choice for your holiday season!

Arranged for 3 - 5 octave handbell choir, optional 3 - 4 octaves of handchimes and optional cello. Level 3-. Karen Buckwalter's beautiful arrangement of the beloved Robert Lowry tune is a grand tour through Christian hymnody. Numerous hymntunes are quoted throughout, usually between verses of the main tune, but occasionally as counterpoint and countermelody. The addition of the optional cello adds a glorious bass sound, but in its absence, the cello part is notated in the score for handchimes. A true musical delight from start to finish!

SKU: BP.HB634

Arranged for 3 -6 octave handbell choir and optional 3 - 4 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This arrangement of two different hymntunes associated with the same text moves through various moods and textures, giving each part of the ensemble the chance to shine. From an opening on suspended bells and handchimes, the tune DOMINUS REGIT ME is set over a simple eighth note accompaniment with occasional unexpected harmonies before the ST. COLUMBA tune is introduced with a countermelody in the bass. A final triumphant verse with bold, sometimes chromatic harmonies, rounds out the piece before returning to the gentle feeling of the opening. A perfect choice for worship throughout the church year.
