Advent Passacaglia
This tune for handbells and handchimes begins with a bass pattern. Variations are then added before the Advent tune is introduced—NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND, or “Savior of the Nations, Come.” The melody continues in both treble and bass until the canon-like ending. Scored for 3–5 octave handbells with optional 3-octave handchimes. Level II. 48 measures. Key of g minor.
