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.

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.
