Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional shaker, guiro and claves. Level 3. Patricia Hurbutt's jaunty arrangement of this traditional German carol is sure to delight listeners this holiday season.

A different take on an old favorite!

Written for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and optional 2 octaves of handchimes. Level 4. A haunting, lyrical section opens this original tune from Brenda Austin before giving way to an energetic and driving motif which once more returns to the lyricism of the opening. Though scored entirely in five-four time, the middle section is conducted in an uneven four, giving ringers the chance to practice asymmetric meters. A great choice for advanced choirs in either worship or concert.

An original composition This original robust composition portrays well the essence of the victorious. The strength of this piece particularly reveals itself through four possible ways of performance: handbells alone, handbells and handchimes; handbells, hadchimes, and harp (or piano); or handbells and harp. Through any shape or form, the angular lines, the brisk pace and the fullness of sound create a positive encounter for program or worship alike.

Hymn by Sebastian Temple This simple setting was designed for the beginning group to sound full and accomplished through a conscious effort to keep all the ringers busy (and happy), and peaceful. As a bonus, this can be used as an accompaniment to the singing of the hymn. An additional option is to have the ringers process to their tables during the first four measures, with a cue for when to go on to measure five.
