Ancient Fanfare

McChesney, Kevin, Jeffers Publishing

Despite the contemporary harmonies, this original piece evokes moods and images from ancient times.

Boardwalk Stroll

Radford, Betty B., Alfred Handbell /
Jubilate Music Group

This original piece was the prize winning composition in the Alberta (Canada) Guild of English Handbell Ringers new composition contest. This twelve-bar blues piece effectively contrasts bells and chimes to create a slinky, “laid-back” atmosphere!

City of Stars

Hurwitz, Justin; Pasek, Benj; Paul, Justin, arr. Mallory, Ron, Alfred Handbell /
Jubilate Music Group

The Oscar-winning song from the motion picture La La Land is available for handbells! You’ll definitely want to include this song on your upcoming concert, and as a bonus – it’s easy to put together!

Creator of Light

Stroobach, Erwin, From the Top Music

This tone poem creates music and sounds representative of the glorious “Aurora Borealis.” Use of singing bell, echoes, suspended bells, LV, and more adds to the creativity of the work. Nicely placed handchime notes and many opportunities for expression provide a lovely ‘image’ of the aurora borealis painting the sky.

Energique

Prins, Matthew, From the Top Music

An original work that is every bit reflective of its title: Énergique! Written for two choirs with different ability levels and differing sets of handbells, this works well in a festival setting or even within a community or church group with one 5-octave and another 3-octave set.

O Canada

Lavallée, Calixa, arr. Krug, Jason W., Grassy Meadow Music

This lush arrangement of the Canadian national anthem is sure to be a favorite with audiences and ringers alike!

Pavane and Spiritoso

Compton, Matthew, SoundForth Publications / Lorenz Co.

This captivating original composition comes together naturally. The "Pavane" is beautiful and serene, and the "Spiritoso," based on the same melodic figure as the "Pavane," is rhythmic and driving.

Transitions of the Heart

Compton, Matthew, Evergreen Music

"Transitions of the Heart" is a commissioned piece about self-discovery, acceptance, and unconditional love. With a heartfelt story and inspiration (which can be read on the inside cover of the music), this piece will be a worthy addition to any group's repertoire.
