Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir with optional 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes and optional flute or C-instrument. Level 3. Linda Lamb's hauntingly beautiful arrangement of the Welsh hymn tune ABERYSTWYTH is sure to find ample use with your ensemble throughout the church year. Flowing arpeggios underscore the opening verse of the melody while the optional flute soars above with a delicate counter-melody line. The melody returns in bass handchimes for a glorious, sonorous effect. A key change at the end paints the now-familiar melody in an entirely new light. A gorgeous masterpiece!

Familiar hymn tune This reflection on the hymn tune ST. COLUMBA and the historic text based on the 23rd Psalm features climbing bass notes with flowing LV arpeggios. As we envision the verse in death's dark vale, I fear no ill, the key changes to minor, emphasized by optional handchimes. An echo effect is introduced and provides an engaging serene assurance throughout. As the piece concludes we rejoice in the Good Shepherd who tenderly cares for his flock, calming our fears and saving us by grace.

It's set in simple quadruple meter and simple triple meter with rhythmical limits to the first subdivision of the beat. Lovely!

The flowing contour of this ancient Irish tune will make this piece a favorite! Because this selection requires only one additional bell outside the key, beginning ringers will welcome the rhythmic and technical challenges: toll swings, eighth-note motion, triplets, and LVs. The ringers will enjoy communicating the beautiful wedding of the music with the text.

Arranged for 3 -6 octave handbell choir and optional 3 - 4 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This arrangement of two different hymntunes associated with the same text moves through various moods and textures, giving each part of the ensemble the chance to shine. From an opening on suspended bells and handchimes, the tune DOMINUS REGIT ME is set over a simple eighth note accompaniment with occasional unexpected harmonies before the ST. COLUMBA tune is introduced with a countermelody in the bass. A final triumphant verse with bold, sometimes chromatic harmonies, rounds out the piece before returning to the gentle feeling of the opening. A perfect choice for worship throughout the church year.
