3-5 Octaves of Handbells Level 2-Thorough performance notes are given for both selections in this folio: Christmas Greetings and African Noel. Both work well with bells or chimes or both and give score for optional percussion and chorus. The text of the first is- God bless us One and all A blessed merry Christmas for the King is born - and the second - Sing we all Noel.

Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival_x000D_ in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open and stately before launching with_x000D_ rhythmic energy into a Bluegrass-infused toe-tapper. It brilliantly pairs the_x000D_ Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (?I Take My Refuge in the Lord?) with a_x000D_ Daniel Teasley hymn of similar assurance. Marts, mallets, plucks, ring-touches_x000D_ and more are sure to excite your concert audiences and congregations alike; and_x000D_ the optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass, and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be_x000D_ added in any combination for extra charm!
