The 3 to 5 octave handbell part is rated level 2-. This prayerful setting of two well-loved hymn tunes is a beautiful pairing of handbells and piano. The majority of the handbell part consists of quarter and half notes, while the piano provides an arpeggiated eighth note undercurrent. A perfect opportunity for beginning and intermediate handbell ensembles to shine in worship!

Handbells

SKU: MN.30-816

Composed by Herbert Geisler. Handbell score. MorningStar Music Publishers #30-816. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.30-816).

This piece portrays a childlike confidence in the promises of God through a tender, richly harmonious blending of two hymns Children of the Heavenly Father (TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA) and I Am Jesus Little Lamb (WEIL ICH JESU SCHAFLEIN BIN) woven into a tapestry of textures and dynamic variation. The melodies shift from octave to octave, giving all ringers a chance to play the melodies. (3-5 octaves/ 32 bells-46 bells).

This is an important addition to the pair of consecutive EECM volumes of John Sheppard's Latin compositions for the Use of Salisbury published in the 1970s. Although he had evidently mastered the forms of Mass and votive antiphon, the composer is at his most characteristic in his settings of the plainsong melodies which form the bedrock of the Sarum liturgy. These account for most of the contents of this volume, together with free-composed settings of Biblical texts and a small corpus of devotional polyphony, most of it fragmentary. In general, textural richness is cultivated in preference to long arcs of melisma, and perfect time is favoured over imperfect, creating a directness of expression that seems to typify mid-Tudor polyphony. The format of this volume follows EECM's house style for post-Reformation composers.
