Medley of hymn tunes

Arr. by Susan T. Nelson

Lots of special techniques enhance the flavor and add challenge for your ringers. How Firm A Foundation/Simple Gifts Medley employs both hymn tunes, skillfully interwoven throughout in this highly orchestral, multi-textural arrangement. It is scored for 3-7 octaves of handbells with OPTIONAL 3-4 octaves of handchimes, plus optional 3-4 octaves of handchimes, plus optional 2-3 octaves of Petit & Fritsen or Silver Melody Bells. An orchestral bell (tubular) part is added which can substitute for the alternate bells if they are not available. This setting also sports a bell tree (Simple Gifts) in the upper 5th octave. A glockenspiel part is provided especially for 3 and 4 octave choirs, which duplicates the bell tree part.
