Amazing Grace Except for an optional sustained open fifth played by the cello (reminiscent of a bagpipe drone), the entire first verse of this poignant arrangement is unaccompanied, with the soloist carrying both melody and harmony. After two variations (verses 2 & 3), the piece ends with a spectacular descant over a maestoso piano rendition of the final verse, reflecting the words "bright shining as the sun." Optional Cello Range: D5 through Eb7	Traditional arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Arioso Surely Bach must have known he was writing this for handbells! Nancy's exquisite arrangement of this lovely melody offers ample Baroque ornamentation requiring a variety of traveling four-in-hand techniques, but can be made easier by choosing to omit some of the extra decoration. Optional Cello. Range: B4 through G6	Bach arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Clair de Lune A delicious transcription of Debussy’s most famous piano work. Challenging for ringer and pianist alike, but well worth the effort!Impressionistic flavor is enhanced by liberal use of LV. The included traveling four-in-hand choreography is the product of 14 years of evolution and improvement since the piece’s debut performance.	Debussy arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Greensleeves Delightful setting of the old English folk tune, exquisitely blending the complementary tonal colors of handbells, cello, and piano as equal partners, with a few harmonic and rhythmic surprises. Cello part is not optional, but could be played by oboe, English horn, or other C instrument. Range: A4 through F6.	English Folk Song arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Orientale Transcription of an original piano work by Cesar Cui, with a haunting Oriental flavor, best performed with minimal damping. (Traveling four-in-hand instructions show you how.)	Cui arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Advent Medley A medley of two Advent tunes, “Hyfrydol” and “Comfort You My People,” in ABA form, with shifting meters and a unifying ostinato found in both piano and handbell parts. Somewhat challenging, with extensive use of traveling four-in-hand in the lower treble clef, a five-bell treble ostinato (requiring six-in-hand technique), a killer transition descending from the descant to melody in the bass, and a BIG finish. Range: G4 through C7	Medley arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Reverent, haunting, and dramatic arrangement of the 16^th century Advent carol, programmatically following the hymn text. With or without the optional cello, it will melt your heart. Use of traveling four-in-hand technique allows the ringer to sustain D5 as a pedal tone throughout first verse, as well as to perform a unique interlude of harmonic suspensions between verses and a spectacular descant on the final verse. Range: D5-D7 Optional mallets (with cello version only).	Picardy arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Anitra's Dance (from Peer Gynt) Spunky waltz with a slight oriental flavor and some tricky mallet work. Range: E5 through Ab6 Mallets required	Edvard Grieg arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Morning (from Peer Gynt) Imagine dew on the grass, a brilliant sunrise, morning breezes and birds trilling in the trees. Played expressively, it’s a drop-dead gorgeous piece, and not as easy as it sounds. Range: B4 through E7	Edvard Grieg arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Solvejg's Song (from Peer Gynt) One of Grieg’s most poignant melodies; portrays the faithful and beautiful Solvejg, love of Peer’s life. Effective use of dynamics will make this piece sing. Range: E5 through A6	Edvard Grieg arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Spiritual Medley Following a reverent, unaccompanied first statement of the spiritual “Steal Away” with its own harmony, this clever quodlibet erupts with all the spirit and syncopation expected from the Afro-American spiritual toe-tappers “Ain’t-a That Good News” and “Amen,” with a hint of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” at the very end. (A bell choir version, with optional clarinet, is available from Red River Music!) Range: B5 through C7	Various arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Habanera (from Carmen) Played with panache, this transcription of Carmen’s opening aria will stop any show – especially with the addition of some simple costuming or a rose in your teeth. Not very difficult, it can be performed successfully with or without traveling-four-in-hand. Range: D5 through D7	Georges Bizet arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be? A traveling-four-in-hand treat, this arrangement of a familiar English folk tune is rife with musical humor and dance-like enthusiasm. Not simple, but a good introduction to traveling four-in-hand techniques. Range: Bb4 through Eb7	Anon. arr. Nancy Hascall	View	$10
