Celebration and Grace

Hosanna Chimes

Lynne Hollander writes this about her original work "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hear the chimes ring! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna to our King!" This is the text that kept running around in my head as I composed this song for chime choir. The tempo is the only thing that causes it to be rated two-plus. Otherwise it fits nicely in the one-plus category. Encourage your chimers or ringers to listen for the trumpet, tambourine and drum sounds hidden in the music, and help them to find the melody in the middle section.

Hosanna Loud Hosanna

Let Us Praise the Almighty

While visiting a church, the arranger of this inaugural selection in Ring Out! Press' new series Bells Ring! - Voices Sing! heard the choir sing this upbeat, worship anthem. She explains, "I immediately thought this song would be fun and effective for bells and voices! The music and the text fit together and call even the 'grumpiest' Christian to praise the Almighty." The bell part, at first glance seems thick against the 2-part voices. However, voices can drown out the short-sustained bell tone - balance is key.

Lily of the Valley

This Shawn Gingrich arrangement of the William Hays title is arranged for 3-6 octaves of handbells and is scored at a moderate tempo. The melody is primarily straightforward with variations in the second and third verses.

Since its first release in 1991, this original work for 2 octaves of bells and narrator has been a best seller; it has now been revised for 2-3 octaves with all of the fun of the first edition.

No Tables Required

As the name says, no tables are needed to ring this collection of three hymns, making it perfect for "on the go" or socially distanced ringing. There are no bell changes, so each ringer rings only two bells. Just take your music, your ringers, a few stands, and go!
