Arranged for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and 3 to 4 octaves of handchimes. Level 3. This stunning arrangement from Matthew Compton combines the tunes IDUMEA and KEDRON into a truly magnificent work. Frantic rising eighth notes scales open the piece, propelling it toward a more sedate, reflective middle section. The opening motif returns to drive the piece to its exciting conclusion. This selection is not to be missed!

With this collection of 26 folk hymns, author Peter Irvine brings shape-note music into the home, and provides adaptable music for a variety of instrumental ensembles. This format allows for instruments such as the mountain dulcimer, Native American or transverse flute, penny whistle, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and so forth. Anyone can play shape-note music, even when Sacred Harp gatherings or â??singingsâ? are not easily accessible. Th e hymns in this collection are drawn from various classic shape-note sources like Southern Harmony (1835) and The Sacred Harp (1844). Presented in lead-sheet format (melody, chords, and lyrics), and written in keys accessible to all C instruments and several D instruments such as the penny whistle and mountain dulcimer, the material offers plenty of arrangements. Hymns can be sung by a soloist, in unison by a small group with chordal accompaniment, or a mixed ensemble.
