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 3-5 octave handbell choir. Level 3-. Uses ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR, KREMSER and NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT. Bold chords give way to ST.

A softer middle section utilizing the tune KREMSER (We Gather Together) gives all ranges a chance to showcase the melody. A final verse, using NUN DANKET (Now Thank We All Our God) returns to the same triumphant feel of the opening. A rousing choice for a Thanksgiving service.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 3-. Lloyd Larson's pairing of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Pat-a-Pan is a delight to listen to or play.

A key change introduces the Pat-a-Pan melody before a return to the original key brings the piece in to its exciting conclusion. A must-have for this Christmas season!

The dynamic opening is followed by a gentle, reflective verse before returning to a grand modulation and powerful ending. The variety of techniques generate a multitude of colors and sounds that join together in praise to the Lord God Almight.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir with optional 2 or 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This delicate setting of the tune NEUMARK is an excellent choice for any contemplative moment during worship. Flowing treble eighth notes underpin most of the piece while the melody peers through in the low treble. A verse set mostly on handchimes offers a break from the moving eighths, which return as the piece grows in strength. A final, triumphant set of chords bring the piece to a firm, confident conclusion.
