Some of our most popular 8-bell titles are the Surprisingly-Easy hymn arrangements. We’re pleased to announce the arrival of our 6th Surprisingly-Easy 8-Bell Hymn Collection!
Surprisingly-Easy 8-Bell Hymn Arrangements from Choraegus
We refer to our Surprisingly-Easy arrangements as “All of the music, but without the twiddly bits”. These arrangements are more straightforward to play than the standard versions. They avoid complicated rhythms, and can be played at a tempo you’re comfortable with. If you’re part of an advanced handbell group, these arrangements should be “pick up and play” pieces for you; useful if you need to put together a performance at short notice. They’re ideal for worship services, contain no special techniques, and are suitable for 2-4 ringers to play. If you’re part of a duo, trio or quartet, or your full handbell choir is unable to play together because of COVID-19 restrictions, these hymns could be what you’re looking for.
The hymns included in this 8-bell hymn collection are:
- All Things Bright and Beautiful
- Holy is the Lord
- In Babilone
- Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
- Let All Things Now Living (The Ash Grove)
- My Song is Love Unknown
- Linstead Market (the tune used for the hymn Let All Talents and Tongues Employ
Each of these arrangements is also available to purchase individually from Choraegus, our music site.
