News of Great Joy Beloved Christmas carols for 8 handbells or handchimes and piano

Arranged by

Anna Laura Page

Arranged by

Anna Laura Page

News of Great Joy is a collection of five Christmas carols, set for 8 handbells or handchimes and piano. Since there are no bell changes, each ringer has only two bells to ring in each piece, making the possibilities of ringing during the Christmas season numerous.

Handbell tables are not necessary, and there is the possibility of ringing these pieces without the piano when one is not available.

The ringers simply may ring through the measures of rests.

Celebrate the season!!

Reflection on Stuttgart

Watch Karen Lakey Buckwalter has arranged “Reflection on Stuttgart” for handbells with piano and flute. The tune, Stuttgart, may be found in

hymnals with a variety of titles including: “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus”, “Crashing Waters at Creation” and “Child of Blessing, Child of Promise”. The familiar hymn tune is artfully arranged with a very accessible handbell part while the piano and flute capture the sweet “dolce” marking and give support to less experienced handbell ringers.

* Notes: Where notated on three staves, the center staff should dominate. When there are two notes together with an accent in the center staff, the lower note receives the accent while the G5 holds back dynamically a bit. The tempo is indeed Adagio. Pay attention that the piece always remains slow, even when forte in m. 36.

Level 3-

CGB1211 3, 4 or 5 octaves handbells with optional 3 or 5 octaves handchimes Contemplation was composed as a personal response to the loss of a dear friend. I chose to base the piece on a musical motif that has been around for centuries to represent sadness or grief: the chromatic fourth. This melodic fragment covers a perfect fourth, with all the intervals in the descending line being present from the tonic to the dominant degrees of the scale. (See the up-stem bass clef notes in measures 1-3.) Performance notes: Where notated on three staves, the center staff should dominate. When there are two notes together with an accent in the center staff, the lower note receives the accent while the G5 holds back dynamically a bit. The tempo is indeed Adagio. Pay attention that the piece always remains slow, even when forte in m. 36.

Level 2

2-3 octaves handbells 3-6 octaves handbells

Bright and Glorious Is the Sky

This arrangement of the Danish tune DELIG ER DEN HIMMEL BLAA features considerable variety in the sections, including happy and

Watch light-hearted, a standard hymn setting, a softer, more contemplative mood with handchimes, and a dramatic transition with random ringing into the final, majestic conclusion. Malleting, thumb damping, shaking, and LV’s are the techniques used and there are no accidentals.

Compatible editions for 2-3 and 3-6 octaves of handbells and handchimes are available, making this accessible piece playable in massed festival ringing as well as worship or concert, during Christmas and Epiphany.

Master Ringer SERIES

My Strength Is from Heaven

Watch Composed during the summer of 2013 for the Rooke Chapel Ringers of Bucknell University, My Strength Is From Heaven features a wide

variety of ringing techniques and tempi, lush harmonies, and pulsating rhythms. Both serene and lively, it is a celebration of Christ Jesus’ victory on the cross to cleanse us from all our sins, that we may walk in newness of life and abide with our Lord forever. Since our strength is from heaven, may we praise God all the more exuberantly!

Endless Prayer and Praise Reproducible!

Distinctive arrangements for 8 handbells and piano

Endless Prayer and Praise Distinctive arrange ments for 8 handbells and piano

Karen Lakey Buckwalter

Reproducible | Level 2

Endless Prayer and Praise is a reproducible collection for 8 handbells and piano. The handbell parts are playable by a 2 octave set of handbells. Consisting of five hymn tune arrangements, you will find two spritely, bold arrangements (Jesus Shall Reign and God of Grace and God of Glory) and three gentle, prayerful arrangements (What Wondrous Love is This, Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service and Dona Nobis Pacem). Innovative piano accompaniments add depth and interest as they support the melody lines. Some of the settings may alternatively be rung by handchimes. Note that Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service may either be rung by a small handbell or handchime ensemble (7 bells or chimes) or by a solo ringer.

Seasons: General | Lent | Easter | Eastertide | Reign of Christ

Dona Nobis Pacem God of Grace and God of Glory (Guide Me Ever, Great Redeemer | For the Healing of the Nations) Jesus Shall Reign (I Know that My Redeemer Lives | Give to Our God Immortal Praise)

A bundle of accompaniment track MP3s is also available, code CGB1213a

Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service (Wash, O God, Our Sons and Daughters | Come to Me, All Pilgrims Thirsty)

Each of these arrangements is also published separately in our CG Digital Ringing Resources series.

What Wondrous Love Is This

Endless Prayer and Praise is available in both print and digital download formats | code CGB1213

O Magnum Mysterium

This new, original work for 3-5 octaves of handbells and optional handchimes is based on the 11th century Responsorial chant for the

Watch Matins on Christmas Day: “O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the newborn Lord, lying in a manger!” The

text is printed above the handbell staves to give ringers and directors a creative and musical frame of reference. Handchimes weave in and out through the piece, while the simple yet soaring melody and rich, poignant harmonies convey the beauty and mystery of the birth of the Savior. O Magnum Mysterium is certain to be one of the most moving and profound additions to the Christmas handbell repertoire.

Love Divine

HYFRYDOL (pronounced huff-ruh-doll) is quite a tune coming from a 19th-century loom tender’s assistant at the Welsh Flannel

Watch Manufacturing Company. Rowland H. Prichard’s beautiful melody has been paired with a variety of texts, appearing in most hymnals at least once. This setting is inspired by Charles Wesley’s lyrics “Love divine, all loves excelling”, but don’t hesitate to adapt the title to coordinate with another hymn text. Be sure to seek out the melodic line when it gently weaves its way into the lower voices. The indication “peacefully flowing” says it all in terms of handbell technique.

CGB1216 3, 4, 5 or 6 octaves handbells with chime tree, rain sticks and/or ocean drum, and optional 3 or 5 octaves handchimes Throughout all of life’s trials, hope gives us the strength to rebuild and confidently reinvent our circumstances. Rays of Hope is an original piece for handbells that depicts the remnants of a storm that has passed, and then begins to hint at the light that is coming to bring us a new day. The opening illustrates the passing unrest and gives way to a bouncy theme that conjures imagery of dancing light. A thoughtful middle section reminds the listener that uncluttered days are never a given or soon forgotten. But, hope does return with the theme to round out the ending of the piece. Techniques such as singing bell, suspended bells with mallets, thumb damp and LV are incorporated. The piece’s texture is further enhanced by the addition of chime tree, ocean drum and/or rain sticks and optional handchimes, all combining to add interest.

Night of Stars

Watch As night begins to show itself, stars slowly twinkle, one by one. In this arrangement of “Creator of the Stars of Night,” these stars are represented by the random ringing of handbells, while the original hymn tune CONDITOR ALME SIDREUM is rung underneath. A low, open 5th drone creates an ethereal atmosphere, perfect for setting the tone for any church service, especially during Advent. The piece concludes, very much as it begins, much like the night stars fading away to make room for the morning sun.

Meditation on Prospect

Meditation on Prospect is an arrangement for handbells with optional piano by Karen Lakey Buckwalter. The hymn tune may be found in hymnals under different titles such as “Creating God,Your Fingers Trace” and “The Lone Wild Bird”. A lyrical, flowing composition, the brief, middle section contains original material which segues into a more expansive, chordal treatment of the tune and then ends with the original, restful opening treatment. Consider this for Sundays with themes of Stewardship, Holy Trinity and the Holy Spirit.

Level 2+

3, 4 or 5 octaves handbells with optional flute

Let Us EverWalk with Jesus, arranged by Karen Lakey Buckwalter, is based on an 18th century chorale tune. Karen has energized this chorale Watch with “walking” eighth notes in the accompaniment and she also paired the hymn tune with an original, joyful melody playable with optional flute or handbells. Suitable for themes of discipleship, commitment, joy and eternal life, this lesser-known chorale will be a great addition to your handbell library.
