Here’s a new bass handbell solo for all the bucket-slingers out there! It’s the hymn Fairest Lord Jesus, also known as Beautiful Savior (ST. ELIZABETH). Larry enjoyed writing this arrangement and having the opportunity to demonstrate it. Now that he’s recovered from last year’s shoulder surgery, we have a feeling that more bass handbell solos might be in his future!

More information about this bass handbell solo

For experienced bass handbell ringers, this arrangement will be quite straightforward to play. It’s arranged for bells ranging from C3 to C5. The sheet music is available to download from Choraegus.

Buying Choraegus handbell music

When you purchase Fairest Lord Jesus / Beautiful Savior from the Choraegus site, the music score will come to you as a PDF file. That means you’ll be responsible for printing your own music, and you won’t receive anything in the mail. A backing track is also available to purchase separately, to help if you don’t have a pianist, or if you need to practise on your own.

Please read our licensing agreement for full information. If you’re new to buying music from Choraegus, we recommend our step-by-step guide. We designed this to take you through the process in a (we hope) stress-free way!

Purchasing this arrangement gives you no-fuss permission for performance, broadcasting, live-streaming and online video-sharing. Please take some time to read about what you’re allowed to do with Choraegus handbell music. In these times of live-streaming worship services and online concerts, it’s particularly important that we all understand and follow the laws concerning performance licensing and copyright.

What to do if you’re not a bass ringer

If you’re not confident about your bass ringing skills, now is a great time to improve! You could even purchase Larry’s book The Bass Ringer’s Notebook, which will tell you more than you ever needed to know about how to be a successful bucket-slinger without injuring yourself or others.
