Arranged for 3 to 7 octave handbell choir, optional 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes and optional 3 octaves of Auxiliary Bells. Level 4. Brian Childers' masterful combination of two tunes associated with the text Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing is a true delight! Starting with a Baroque feel before morphing into a more modern treatment, a plethora of techniques, styles, and rhythms keep everyone attentive and entertained! An option to add in an extra five auxiliary bells (such as Silver Melody Bells) will lend additional aural interest.

Set in a festive Baroque style, the anthem is a refreshing presentation of the angelic proclamation of Christ's birth. The contrasting middle section is a chorale-like setting of the text Peace on earth, good will from heaven before returning to the opening melody.

Written for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes. Level 5. Not at all for the feint of heart, Michael Helman's three-movement masterwork is a true tour de force for your ensemble. The piece opens with the Exaltation, which alternates between a stately Baroque feel and a more modern syncopated rhythm, creating an atmosphere both old and new. This segues to the gentle Reflection, set in a lilting 9/8 time, which then gives way to the driving rhythms of the Dance, set primarily in a minor 7/8 time, but with occasional measures in 6/8, 3/8, and 4/4 thrown in for good measure. An outstanding musical statement for your advanced ensemble!
