We are delighted to showcase our new handbell and handchime releases for Fall 2025. Here you will find a wide variety of music for ensembles large and small. Included in our new releases are selections for both church and community groups.
Our new line includes a number of selections published in compatible editions, which are playable by 2, 3, 4, or 5 octave choirs.
Also featured are two reproducible collections for small ensembles with flexible voicing. Cathy Moklebust’s Peace on Earth, Good WIll to All includes Advent and Christmas arrangements for 8, 10 or 12 handbells or handchimes with piano.
Karen L. Buckwalter’s Gifts of Grace includes very flexible handbell arrangements for 4-5 ringers or 2-3 octave ensembles and piano. This unique collection includes three handbell staves. The middle bell staff is the required bell part (along with piano) and is playable by 4 or 5 ringers. Two additional bell staves include optional treble and optional bass bells, which may be added as desired. The optional upper treble staff bells may be played on a bell tree.
We hope you enjoy exploring these new publications. Please let us know how we can support your handbell and/or handchime programs.
Best wishes for a wonderful year of ringing!
