Written for 4 to 7 octave handbell choir. Level 3+.From the pen of the talented Sandra Eithun comes this engaging setting of the hymntune MELITA. A haunting, slightly dissonant opening gives way to a verse of the tune underpinned by a slightly unsettled malleted accompaniment. Further verses of the tune explore different moods and emotions before a return to the feeling of the opening. A worthy choice for the ensemble wanting something a little different.

Arranged for 3 to 7 octave handbell choir, optional 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes and optional 3 octaves of auxiliary bells. Level 5. The opening of Brian Childers' arrangement of this well-known melody builds slowly in intensity and complexity to the introduction of the tune, which appears in a fantasia-like setting. The accompaniment gives the lilting feeling of being on the sea, and the harmonies keep everyone on their toes. After a playful iteration of the theme, a slower, ethereal section appears with Joy to the World played delicately on optional auxillary bells such as Whitechapels or Silver Melody Bells. The main theme returns in triumphant style at the end for a grand and glorious conclusion!

Original Composition This festive, original composition from Hart Morris is a celebrative piece that makes extensive use of mart-lift and mallets throughout. Though the middle section calms somewhat, the tempo does not change as the more mellow sounds of handchimes enter, surrounded by brief mallet and thumb damp passages. This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.
