Gentle ballad with words by Marva J. Dawn This gentle ballad, with a text by Marva Dawn, centers on the theme of entering into worship where we may find stillness in God's peace. The meditative hymn text draws from the 23rd Psalm, with references to the table of the Lord, where all are fed and thirsts are quenched, making it ideal for communion as well as a call and preparation for worship. Part of our Quick Study Chorals series this is an accessible setting that can be realized easily with a minimum of rehearsal.

Written for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 3-. Sandra Winter's jubilant original piece is as much a delight to ring as it is to hear. A bold, joyous opening gives way to a memorable melody filled with both rising and falling peals, reminiscent of tower bells in a belfry. A brief middle verse gives the melody to the lower treble bells, allowing them their moment in the sun before the entire ensemble resounds once more in effusive celebration. A wonderful addition to any worship, concert, or festival setting.

Holiday Classic A joyous bell peal leads to the first iteration of the theme before moving into a more flowing verse accompanied by delicate mallets on treble handbells. An optional dark and dissonant verse (which portrays one of the lesser-known stanzas of the Longfellow poem) gives way to a verse in minor before a triumphant return to major to depict the lyrics, Then pealed the bells more loud and deep/God is not dead, nor doth he sleep... An exciting and beautiful addition to your holiday worship or concert.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 3-. Jason Krug's arrangement of this little-known Puerto Rican carol is a treat for ringer and listener alike. An impassioned opening figure gives way to the melody, underscored by full chords. A second verse, accompanied by a dance-like chordal figure, sets the stage for the return of the opening theme, which then gives way to a joyous final verse, accompanied by a malleted bass figure. A wonderful choice for the group looking for something different this holiday season.
