Titles

"Glorioso II" - 11 Bells

Inspired by the popular handbell acclamation, Glorioso (get your free copy here), this festive processional is based on a collection of repeated musical patterns. Each person is assigned two bells and one 2-measure pattern to play.

"Advent Processional" - 12 Bells

Like Glorioso II, this simple processional is based on a collection of repeated patterns. Each person is assigned two bells and one pattern to play. It’s written in such a way that it can be used as a stand-alone piece or as an introduction to the hymn, “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” (HYFRYDOL).

"Light of Light" - 12 Bells

This bright, festive processional is a wonderful way to begin your Epiphany service (or any service focused on light). The piece is based on a series of repeated musical patterns. Each person is assigned two bells and one 2-measure pattern to play and repeat, as needed.

"Lenten Processional" - 11 Bells

The reflective nature of this piece works well during the season of Lent, and the piece can be easily played without music. Each player has a simple one-measure pattern that is repeated. The piece could be rung standing in place or while processing.

Processional on “Come, Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire”
- 10 Bells

This layered processional is a wonderful way to begin your Pentecost service (or any service focused on the Holy Spirit). The piece is based on a series of repeated musical patterns. Each person is assigned two bells and one 2-measure pattern to play and repeat, as needed. Each part includes text pulled from the hymn, “Come, Holy Ghost Our Hearts Inspire” to aid with rhythm and memory.
