Here I Am, Lord (sometimes also known as I, the Lord of Sea and Sky) is a hymn written by Dan Schutte. It was first published in 1981, and its lyrics are based on Isaiah 6:8 and 1 Samuel 3:4.
“I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin My hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright, Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me I will hold your people in my heart.”
We’re pleased to be able to bring you an 8-bell arrangement of Here I Am, Lord. This arrangement requires no accompaniment track, and is suitable for 2-4 ringers. We recorded it as a duet, but no 4-in-hand is needed if you have four people to play it! Here’s our demonstration video:

Holy Manna was one of the very first 8-bell arrangements we performed, when we started our life together in the San Francisco Bay Area, way back in 2012. We were asked to play in a worship service, and when we asked how many pieces they’d like us to play, the answer was “Could you play three”. Our reply was “We have three!” Yes, we played our entire repertoire for the congregation of LAUMC in Los Altos, CA (which happened to be the church where we got married!).
Fast forward to 2025, and we’re still playing the exact same arrangement of Holy Manna. It’s so much fun to play, and it still comes out at a lot of our concert performances and worship services. However, we had a request for an easier version; one that would be more straightforward for a quartet group to play. This is the new version:

Sheet music for Holy Manna is available to purchase and download from Choraegus. You’ll notice that the page gives two options for purchase. The standard version is the one we’ve been playing for years, and the Surprisingly Easy version is the new one. We recommend this one for quartet groups. It’s always suitable for anyone needing a straightforward arrangement that can be put together in a short space of time.

As well as the two 8-bell arrangements (Standard and Surprisingly Easy), we also have a 6-bell arrangement of Holy Manna. This one has a piano accompaniment. The handbell score and piano accompaniment are available as a package, to download from Choraegus. Our 6-bell arrangements are perfect for 2-3 ringers, and are designed to show that handbell music can still be interesting, even with a very small number of bells!

(They Long to Be) Close to You is a popular song, written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. It was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain in 1963, but was a huge success for The Carpenters in 1970, and their version is now the best-known.
“Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town (girls in town) Follow you (follow you) all around (all around). Just like me, they long to be Close to you.”
(They Long to Be) Close to You is now available for handbells! Here’s our demonstration video:

A note of gratitude from Larry Sue, to participants at the 2025 Bay View Week of Handbells
Last night 107 handbell musicians at the 2025 Bay View Week of Handbells performed my arrangement of Seiichi Kyoda’s Winter Dance. Maestro Fred Gramann led us in an amazing program, and it was a tremendous honor that he included this piece in the repertoire.
My gratitude goes to all of you who made this performance more than just a technical reality. There was an inescapable growing intensity throughout the music that you made. During our penultimate rehearsal, I made a video of part of Winter Dance. It was everything I could have imagined. The Thursday night concert performance was even better than that!
I put lots of dots and squiggles on the pages, and I hope they were true to Kyoda-san’s heart. You turned those dots and squiggles into a unified sound that drew our audience into the dance we were trying to imagine. I could envision the people from that small village in far northern Japan, their bonfire, and their celebration in its warmth. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart, to each of you for being part of this musical endeavor. I thank you for granting me the privilege of joining you in it. Thank you for giving our audience an experience that they can remember. Thank you for dancing (in 5/4, no less). Most of all, thank you for having fun! You all created magnificence, and I’m indebted to you all for the gift you’ve given me.
The Oriole Tea Room was one of the tea rooms at Bay View, many years ago. We’ve owned this Victorian cottage since the end of 2019, and it’s no longer a tea room, although we do drink a fair amount of tea there!
Note: not a real representation of how to drink tea
Desperately seeking a photo or postcard of The Oriole Tea Room!
We don’t know when our cottage started being a tea room, but know that it was a tea room in the 1920s. We’ve found references to it in the Petoskey Evening News of the time. Thanks to the Bellaire Record, we also know that it was a tea room in the 1930s. It was still a tea room in the summer of 1941 too! Here’s a photo taken from Charles E. Schloff’s excellent book A Pictorial History of Bay View : Post Cards & Photographs of the Past:
Is that postcard still in existence?
We’d love to own a photo or postcard of our cottage when it was a tea room. We didn’t purchase the cottage until late 2019, so we don’t have the historical records that many of the families at Bay View have. We still hold onto the hope that we’ll find an old photo someday! We’d love to have a photo of the cottage “in the olden days”, so that we can frame it and hang it on the wall, for us and future owners to appreciate.
In the meantime, there are lots of photos of our cottage in more modern times on our Facebook page, as well as pictures of other beautiful cottages, and Bay View in general. If you have a collection of northern Michigan vintage postcards, and you recognize our cottage among your photos, please let us know!
Deck the Halls is a traditional carol with a Welsh tune that dates back to the 16th century. The original Nos Galan drinking song was part of the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Wales, and the lyrics had nothing to do with Christmas, and more to do with drinking!
“Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! ‘Tis the season to be jolly: Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Troul the ancient Christmas carol. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!”
The English lyrics were written in 1862 by Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant. Over the years, the words have changed even more, with the drinking references gone in the later versions.
In case you’re wondering about the “correctness” of the title, Deck the Hall (singular) was used in the original English version. Our late friend Tim Waugh was always insistent that only one hall should be involved. However, the plural “halls” has been widely used since the late 1800s, so we believe that either version is acceptable. Our 12-bell arrangement only has the melody and not the lyrics, so if you want to change the title and call it Deck the Hall, that’s no problem at all.
Here’s our demonstration video, recorded on a sunny afternoon in July:
More information about Deck the Halls
As with all Choraegus 12-bell pieces, Deck the Halls is suitable for 3-6 ringers. Sheet music for this arrangement is available to purchase and download from Choraegus.

Please refer to the bells-used charts on the Choraegus webpage to make sure you have all the bells you need, and make sure you purchase the right version!

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly is a traditional Polish Christmas carol. The song was originally titled W Żłobie Leży (In the Manger He Lies), and it was translated into English as Infant Holy, Infant Lowly in 1920. It’s thought that the melody could date back to the thirteenth century.
“Infant holy, infant lowly, For His bed a cattle stall. Oxen lowing, little knowing, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging, angels singing, Noels ringing, tidings bringing, Christ the babe is Lord of all.”
We recorded our demonstration video on a hot day in July. If you use your imagination, you might think that the harsh sunlight on the trees and grass behind us is soft, billowing snow. If not, it can just be a Christmas in July thing. After all, if we waited until December to publish new handbell music, no one would have time to learn it!

Not-collecting chickens has become an important part of our life in the last couple of years! If you’ve ever looked at our Facebook page on a Tuesday, and wondered why on earth there are so many posts about chickens, and no posts about our handbell music, we’ll explain it here.
How the whole chicken adventure started
In October 2019, we bought our sweet little Victorian cottage at Bay View, in northern Michigan. As is usual with cottage sales at the Bay View Association, the previous owner included some furniture and other items in the sale. One of these items, left on a shelf in the kitchen, was a chicken.
The random chicken that started it all
This sweet chicken seemed lonely, as the only chicken in our kitchen. The top of the microwave looked vast and empty, so we bought a red chicken with white spots to go on top of it. Then that chicken clearly needed a friend. During a romantic stroll around our local HomeGoods, we saw a white chicken that looked like the perfect companion to sit on the microwave. And so it continued. Before we knew it, we had chickens in our cottage. Not a lot of chickens, but definitely some.
Actual collectors of chickens
In this world, it is well known that some people are actual collectors of chickens. Some people collect coins, stamps, hippos, porcelain dolls, owls, or other random things. Some people collect chickens. They are happy and proud to be actual collectors of chickens. They have shelves in their homes, for the chickens, and they eagerly search for chickens in antiques stores and thrift shops, to increase their collection. Some people specialize in collecting a particular kind of chicken – like ceramic chickens, for example, or chicken kitchenware.
Actual collectors of real, live chickens
Some people like to collect real, live chickens. Backyard chickens are a big thing these days, and social media is full of photos and videos of happy people with their chickens. They sit outside and watch their chickens, they collect eggs, and they post videos of their chickens doing amusing things during the day. It’s a good life, if that’s what you want to do.
It’s a slippery slope
Collecting chickens can be a slippery slope. You can find chickens everywhere. They’re in antiques stores, thrift shops and grocery stores. You find them in art galleries and gift shops, and even at farmers’ markets and museums. The chickens that are available for purchase can be very tempting. You buy one or two chickens, and yes, they’re sweet. Family members start giving you chicken-items for birthdays and Christmas, and the chickens start to pile up in your home. You put up a couple more shelves, or replace your cute little accent cabinet with a much taller cupboard that has more space inside. Before you know it, you’re renting a storage unit on the edge of town, and then you have to move into it, because the chickens have completely taken over your home, and your kids aren’t talking to you any more, out of fear that they’ll inherit them all.

Why we started not-collecting chickens
We reached a point where people were starting to think that we were collecting chickens. That was understandable, because we’d shared photos of some of our chickens on social media. However, we definitely didn’t want to become actual collectors of chickens. We decided to prove that we weren’t, by taking photos of all the chickens we saw, but didn’t collect. This would be the evidence that we were officially not collecting chickens. We added the all-important hyphen, and it became known as Not-Collecting Chickens. It’s even a hashtag on Facebook now – #NotCollectingChickens. Hyphens don’t work with hashtags, of course, so you just have to remember that it’s there in secret.
How to not-collect a chicken
See a chicken as you go about your daily life. This could be a real, live chicken, or it could be some other kind of chicken. Not a food-chicken, but perhaps a carved, wooden chicken, or a metal chicken, or a ceramic chicken, a chicken mug, or a chicken on a t-shirt. You get the idea. There are not-collectable chickens everywhere.
Take a photo of the chicken. Don’t take the chicken home with you. Note that it’s helpful if you don’t pick up the chicken and start to bond with it. Admiring the cuteness is fine, but once you start to imagine where the chicken could sit in your living room, you’re running the risk of turning into an actual collector of chickens. It’s entirely up to you, but do you really need chickens?
Send the photo to us for the not-collection. You can post it on our Facebook page, or click on the message button to send it privately if you don’t want to risk other people seeing it before we do.
Congratulations! You have successfully not-collected a chicken! Now find some more!

Why is the hyphen so important?
If you think about it, there’s a big difference between not collecting chickens, and not-collecting chickens. There are lots of people who don’t collect chickens, after all. They don’t even think about chickens. They don’t look for them in thrift stores, and they don’t yell “CHICKEN!” as they drive past one in someone’s back yard, then turn around and go back to take a photo of it. You can ask someone if they collect chickens, and they’ll reply that no, they don’t collect chickens (unless they do, of course).
The art of not-collecting chickens is a more deliberate thing. You have to take a photo of the chicken, for a start, as proof of the successful not-collection! That’s why the hyphen matters. It’s the difference between simply not collecting chickens, and actively seeking out chickens to not-collect, and not-collecting them by taking the photo without taking the chicken home.
Extreme temptation
Some chickens are very tempting. You’ll see them in the thrift stores and gift shops, and you’ll love the cuteness of them, and their sweet little head-thingies and underbeak dangly bits! They might have soft wings, or fluffy little underage chickens with them. The choice is always yours. If you are catastrophically tempted by a chicken, and you end up taking it home, don’t panic.
The photo below shows us being seriously tempted by MASSIVE RED CHRISTMAS CHICKENS in our local Tractor Supply place. We were able to not-collect these successfully, but it wasn’t easy. We were quite obsessed with these MASSIVE RED CHRISTMAS CHICKENS for a while. Are we over them now? Well, no. We still don’t have one on our porch, though. Sometimes the number on the price tag helps to make a chicken more not-collectable.
Occasional adoption doesn’t count as collecting
There are definitely some situations where it’s okay to take a chicken home with you. There is no need for guilt at this point. Occasional adoption doesn’t count as collecting. It’s a totally different thing. There are also several other situations where taking a chicken home won’t turn you into an actual collector of chickens:
When a chicken is a gift. If someone gives you a chicken (even if they say, “I know you collect chickens!”), it’s okay to take the chicken, and it totally won’t count as collecting. It would be very rude to tell someone that you don’t want a chicken, especially as it might be a very nice chicken. Take the chicken, adopt it into your home, and send us a photo of it for our not-collection. Even if someone thinks YOU are an actual collector of chickens, WE are definitely not.
When a chicken is handmade. If you make a chicken, that definitely shouldn’t count as collecting. If you have crochet skills, or you know how to knit a chicken, it’s perfectly acceptable to create a chicken and keep it in your home. Even if you made one out of a paper plate, it still wouldn’t count as collecting if you decided to keep it.
When a chicken is handmade and is a gift. If someone gives you a chicken that they’ve made themselves, that also would not count as collecting. To be given a handmade chicken is a very special thing, and no one should ever say no-thank-you to a handmade chicken. Think of the love and time that went into creating that chicken!
When it’s an Emotional Support Chicken. We’ve probably all seen Emotional Support Chickens. They’re usually crocheted or knitted, and they look very sweet and emotionally supportive. If you have an Emotional Support Chicken, we’re pretty sure that it’s illegal for anyone to suggest that you’re an actual collector of chickens. That chicken is providing a vital service for your mental and emotional health, and that definitely doesn’t make you an actual collector of chickens!
When you inherit a chicken. Inheriting a chicken is a very special privilege. It definitely doesn’t count as collecting. Even if you inherit someone’s entire chicken collection, you can still claim it as an occasional adoption situation. Just don’t add to it. You know the risks. Storage units are expensive.
When you have struggled with temptation, and you already love the chicken. Chickens need homes. If you are overcome by temptation in the antiques store, you can purchase the chicken if you really want to, and it will just count as an occasional adoption situation. Adopt the chicken, take it to your home, and resolve to not-collect the next one you see. Repeat as many times as you need to.
Our friend Eileen knitted a chicken (Poppy), and gave her some wingbells to play!
Chicken Tuesday
Chicken Tuesday now has its own hashtag on Facebook! If you go to our Facebook page, and it happens to be a Tuesday, you’ll see photos of chickens, videos of chickens, news stories about chickens, and chicken crafts. Larry might even be wearing a chicken t-shirt. Best of all, Chicken Tuesday is when we share the photos of the chickens that we and our friends have not-collected in recent weeks! We have several Facebook albums filled with not-collected chickens now, and we add to the not-collection every week.
We know that some people talk about tacos on Tuesday, but that’s not a thing for us.
Chicken of the Week
On Tuesdays, if there is a particularly special chicken, that chicken will get the Chicken of the Week award! There are no prizes if your chicken is chosen to be Chicken of the Week, but it’s exciting anyway! We have to admit that chickens chosen for this special award are often handmade, by people with knitting or crochet skills. Eileen’s chicken in the photo above was a recipient of the Chicken of the Week award, for example. Here is another:

Not-chickens
If you start not-collecting chickens, you’ll see them everywhere. Sometimes you’ll even notice something that looks like a chicken, and you’ll take a photo, then you’ll realize that it wasn’t actually a chicken. It was just a vaguely chicken-shaped item, or something that looked like a chicken because of a shadow. When that happened to us a few times, we decided to make it okay to not-collect not-chickens too. After all, why waste a perfectly good chicken-ish photo? Here is an example of a not-chicken:
Meijer Gardens says this is a prickly pear cactus. It’s also a not-chicken.
Not not-collecting turkeys
Sometimes, when we’re out not-collecting chickens, we notice that there are a lot of turkeys. This happens often in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, but sometimes at other times of the year too. Larry is always very sad to find turkeys, because we’re not not-collecting turkeys.
Poor Larry, outside Third Coast Bakery in Traverse City. We’ve never seen a chicken there.
Thank you to everyone who’s joined in the fun!
We’re genuinely thankful to everyone who’s joined us in not-collecting chickens, and celebrating Chicken Tuesday with us each week! If you’ve shared photos of your chickens, or crocheted a chicken, or sent us pictures of chickens that you’ve managed to not-collect on your travels – thank you! We couldn’t do this without you! Well, okay, we probably could. Yes, we still would. It wouldn’t be as much fun, though!

“Come, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing; Help us to praise: Father, all glorious, O’er all victorious, Come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days.“
Come, Thou Almighty King is sung to the hymn tune ITALIAN HYMN. We’ve had an 8-bell arrangement of this for some years now, but this new arrangement is a “surprisingly easy” version. We recommend our Surprisingly Easy™ arrangements for quartets in particular. When there are four ringers, it helps when there are fewer sixteenth notes, and straightforward rhythms. These arrangements can also be helpful for groups of 2-4 ringers to put together without needing a lot of rehearsal time.
Here’s our demonstration video of Come, Thou Almighty King:

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing has been one of our favorite 8-bell arrangements over the years, ever since we played it at an event in downtown Holland, and a group of local college students stopped to listen, and started singing along. This new arrangement of the NETTLETON hymn tune has fewer sixteenth notes than our standard version, and is more straightforward to play.
