Acclamations for the Church Year
Alleluias without End
2–3 Octaves (8 or 10 Bells) Handbells or Choir Chimes Level 2 Using only four or five ringers, these eleven acclamations could be used as processionals (the first eight measures can be repeated ad lib,) or as interludes or responses. Often the briefest snippet of a seasonallyappropriate hymn tune is quoted. 30-515
$4.75
3 or 5 Octaves Handbells, opt. 3 Octaves Handchimes Level 3+ Quoting William Boyce’s Alleluia, this energetic piece is in 7/8 meter with occasional 4/4 measures, making it rhythmic and interesting. The rhythms occur in pattern which your ringers will become comfortable with quickly despite the busy appearance of the page. A middle section, which can be played on handchimes alone, lends contrast. 30-405 $4.75
MorningStar Music DAV I D S C H O T T E
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty 3-5 Octaves Handbells, with opt. 3 Octaves Handchimes Level 2 This is a great piece for a level 2 group. The eighth notes are in repeated patterns against the melody in the bass clef at first. There is some mild synocopation and plenty of big chords all rung together. A middle reflective section may be played on handchimes. Then the bass clef melody returns against the upper eighth notes. LV, martellato, shakes, and RT give the ringers plenty of variety. 30-520 $4.50
