Arranged for 3

choir and optional 2
octaves of handchimes.
Level 2. A haunting
opening verse on
handchimes, accompanied
by a singing bell drone
and ethereal random
malleting in the high
bells, gives way to a
more chordal verse of the
well-known tune. A key
change propels the piece
forward before the motion
once more slows and the
piece closes as it began.
A great choice for your
church's ensemble!

Level 4. This original
work by Kerry Johnston
will showcase the
musicality and technique
of advanced ensembles and
provide a moving journey
for listeners. An opening
Baroque-inspired motif
progresses through
various iterations and
permutations before a
slower, more understated
and lyrical sections
ensues. The energy grows
once more near the end
for a triumphant return
of the opening ideas,
this time in a glorious
major key before bringing
the piece to a satisfying
conclusion.

up this haunting tune.
The stark harmonic
opening gradually becomes
more complex before a

the tune in a drawn-out

piece to its explosive
conclusion. A

choir with an optional
B-flat 2 and G2. Level 4.
A free and ethereal
opening gives way to
hurried, almost desperate
sixteenth notes in this
masterwork from Hart
Morris, written in honor
of Fred Gramann. A
syncopated melody ensues,
accompanied the entire
time by the same frantic
sixteenth notes. The mood
gradually slows and
becomes more hymn-like
before the emergence of a
final, triumphal verse of
the hymntune LOBE DEN
HERREN (Praise to the
Lord, the Almighty). A
grand challenge for any
advanced choir looking to
showcase their
talents.

The
plaintive melody of this
arrangement sits atop a
flowing accompaniment of
either bells or chimes,
symbolizing Christ's
sacrifice for us. The
melody moves from the
treble bells to the bass
bells with ease, and the
piece gradually slows to
a soft final chord,
leaving the congregation
in quiet meditation as
the final tones fade from
the space.

Christmas tune
Originally commissioned
for performance in
Christmas Serenade '95
with the San Antonio,
Texas symphony, this
piece is true to the
text's intent. After a
bright opening the music
slows to a more leisurely
pace where the bass
melody is accompanied by
triplet thirds in the
treble bells. Lots of
staccato is called for in
the final, bouncy section
which speeds up the last
five measures to end with
a flourish. This
rendition is scored in F
Major and is 78
measures.
