SKU: BP.HB385

Composed by Sondra K. Tucker. Arranged by Sondra K. Tucker. Handbell choir music. Handbell part. Beckenhorst Press #HB385. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB385).

Sondra K. Tucker has written the impassioned Seasons of Life, for three to five octaves of handbells. This memorial piece is both hauntingly beautiful and powerfully life-affirming. Though marked a level four, most choirs capable of ringing a level three piece ought to be able to work this one up with a modest effort, and the result will be well worth it. Mallets and singing bell are used sparingly throughout, but always to good effect. Perfect for a memorial service or general use. 3-5 octaves level 4.

Handbells

SKU: MN.30-823

Composed by William A. Payn. Handbell score. MorningStar Music Publishers #30-823. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.30-823).

UPC: 688670308239.

William Payn is recognized as one of the finest contemporary composers of handbell music. This is a classic William Payn piece and will be a welcomed addition to the handbell repertoire. The piece begins with a brisk eighth note pattern in both treble and bass bells and is followed by the introduction of a theme presented in the bass bells. The theme is developed and moves through three key changes before giving way to a peaceful middle section. Both themes are combined in the finale. A challenging piece well worth the work. For church or concert use. 5 octaves (58 bells).

4-7 Octave Handbells - Grade 3

SKU: BP.HB746

Composed by Sandra Eithun. Handbell music. Score. Beckenhorst Press #HB746. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB746).

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.
