Medley of hymn tunes Written to honor the life and work of a pastor, this handbell setting brings two great hymns of stewardship and service together: Take My Life and Let It Be and O Jesus, I Have Promised. Suspended bells and lyrical handchime lines open to provide the tender backdrop to these melodies. The piece eventually grows to a full treatment of the hymns in the middle section and winds down with a contemplative close to reflect on a life of work and commitment.

FOr 2 or 3 octave handbell choir. Rated level 2+. Sandra Winter's original title features a gentle, lyric melody paired with flowing, arpeggiated accompaniment lines. Creative use of the handchimes throughout helps to highlight the various melodies and counter-melodies while providing ringers an exercise in balance and musicality. Compatible versions for 2-3 octave ensembles and 4-7 octave ensembles are available. The recording is of the 4-7 octave version.

Arranged for 3 to 7 octave handbell choir and optional 3 to 7 octaves of handchime. Level 4+. Leo Delibes. From the talented pen of Sandra Eithun comes another fantastic transcription of a well-know piece from classical literature, this one from Leo Delibes' Lakme. Flowing sixteenth notes and deep, sonorous bass lines create a truly magnificent tonal experience. Delicate plucks and malleted notes appear throughout, replicating pizzicato string notes to great effect. A true masterwork, and a brilliant addition to the advanced handbell literature. The recording is a live performance of the Kalamazoo Ringers under the direction of Janet Van Valey.
