A final section marked With Fire! drives the piece to its final, resounding conclusion. A true tour de force suitable for any ensemble looking for a musical challenge.

For 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and optional 2 octaves of handchimes. Rated level 4. Ron Mallory's original piece works well not just in concert, but also as a non-traditional choice for Easter Sunday service, or any other celebratory time during the church year. A driving, syncopated melody -- at first lightly accompanied, then propelled by malleted bells -- gives way to a gentler, reflective middle section with a melody on chimes. The initial idea returns at the end to bring the piece to a final, triumphant conclusion. A fun piece both to ring and hear!

The piano part plays off of and enhances the handbell part, which carries the melody throughout. A fun selection for ringers and congregations alike.

SKU: BP.HB593

Arranged for 4 or 5 octave handbell choir with an optional B-flat 2 and G2. Level 4. A free and ethereal opening gives way to hurried, almost desperate sixteenth notes in this masterwork from Hart Morris, written in honor of Fred Gramann. A syncopated melody ensues, accompanied the entire time by the same frantic sixteenth notes. The mood gradually slows and becomes more hymn-like before the emergence of a final, triumphal verse of the hymntune LOBE DEN HERREN (Praise to the Lord, the Almighty). A grand challenge for any advanced choir looking to showcase their talents.
