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.

Written for 3 - 5 octave handbell choir. Level 3. This original tune from the pen of Ron Mallory is a lighthearted romp, suitable for concert or worship use. Dedicated to the composer's son, the lilting, syncopated 6/8 imparts a playful attitude to the piece, which is replete with unexpected harmonic divergences that add to the creative, exploratory feeling. Stopped techniques abound, making the piece as fun to play as it is to hear.
