Performance Notes: The handbell arrangements in this collection have been composed for use specifically with the We Celebrate hymnal published by WLP. The hymn tunes used, as well as their harmonizations, are commonly found in same form in many hymnals. The bell peal is intended to be used as part of an introduction to the hymn. The pattern may be repeated as many times as necessary, and is to be followed by an organ/instrumental introduction that leads to the singing of the hymn. The peal could be rung from a stationary position, or could be a processional (movement) by a small group of ringers. For processionals, parts enter from lowest to highest, or in any preferred order. Each part may be repeated as needed before the next part enters. The final chord is rung together when the procession is completed.
