Review:
Crafted for fewer ringers, this wonderful collection of hymn arrangements for 12 handbells or handchimes and piano accompaniment will be a new go-to for music for small ensembles. The piano accompaniment was written to enhance the texture and provide support to the arrangement. Ranging from F5 to C7, the twelve handbells or handchimes utilize the upper portion of a 3 octave set of bells or chimes. It is notable for handchime ensembles that all shakes are considered optional.
The collection is published in both print and site license formats, and a bundle of downloadable mp3 accompaniment tracks is also available. Handbell part and piano accompaniment are included in the book. Each of the titles is also available separately. Click on the title below to go to that piece.
♫ Reflection on Come, Thou Fount ♫ I Sing the Mighty Power of God ♫ Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy ♫ Just As I Am ♫ Love Lifted Me.
