Medley of hymn tunes Lots of special techniques enhance the flavor and add challenge for your ringers. How Firm A Foundation/Simple Gifts Medley employs both hymn tunes, skillfully interwoven throughout in this highly orchestral, multi-textural arrangement. It is scored for 3-7 octaves of handbells with OPTIONAL 3-4 octaves of handchimes, plus optional 3-4 octaves of handchimes, plus optional 2-3 octaves of Petit & Fritsen or Silver Melody Bells. An orchestral bell (tubular) part is added which can substitute for the alternate bells if they are not available. This setting also sports a bell tree (Simple Gifts) in the upper 5th octave. A glockenspiel part is provided especially for 3 and 4 octave choirs, which duplicates the bell tree part.

Arranged for 3 to 7 octave handbell choir, optional 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes and optional 3 octaves of auxiliary bells. Level 5. The opening of Brian Childers' arrangement of this well-known melody builds slowly in intensity and complexity to the introduction of the tune, which appears in a fantasia-like setting. The accompaniment gives the lilting feeling of being on the sea, and the harmonies keep everyone on their toes. After a playful iteration of the theme, a slower, ethereal section appears with Joy to the World played delicately on optional auxillary bells such as Whitechapels or Silver Melody Bells. The main theme returns in triumphant style at the end for a grand and glorious conclusion!

SKU: BP.HB693
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.
