Angels from the Realms of Glory – for 3 Octaves of Handbells

Angels from the Realms of Glory is a popular 19th-century Christmas carol. Our arrangement of the REGENT SQUARE tune for 3 octaves of handbells is a straightforward Level 2, and it’s available to purchase and download from Choraegus. It’s one of those pieces where you can just repeat the verse as many times as you need to, giving you lots of flexibility for your worship service or holiday performance.

How to purchase Angels from the Realms of Glory

The full choir license for this carol is currently available for the bargain price of just $10! Purchase gives you our no-fuss permission to print up to 15 copies for your group.

Your purchase of the full-choir license also includes permission for you to perform, broadcast and live-stream this piece as part of a concert or worship service without the need for any additional license or fee, although we ask you to credit the arranger (Larry Sue) and publisher (Choraegus) in any printed media such as concert programs, and online (in video descriptions). See our licensing agreement for full details.

Choraegus handbell music is designed to come to you as a PDF file, which you’ll need to download. You’ll be responsible for printing your own music, and you won’t receive anything in the mail.

If you haven’t purchased music online from Choraegus before, we recommend our step-by-step guide. We designed this guide to help you navigate the purchase and download process in a (we hope!) stress-free way.

Easy 3-octave Christmas Music – New from Choraegus

Easy 3-octave Christmas music is always useful, whether it’s for a beginning handbell choir, or for a more experienced group looking for music they can put together quickly without needing a lot of rehearsal time. Our new arrangement of the 16th-century carol Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming is simple enough for a less-experienced choir to play, but still sounds effective.

Bonus: you can repeat the verses as many times as you need to! We recorded our demonstration video on handchimes, because we really like the way they sound, but bells will obviously work too.

Our 6th Surprisingly-Easy 8-Bell Hymn Collection

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.

More information about buying music online from Choraegus

As always, we strongly recommend that you read the licensing agreement before buying music from us, especially if this is your first time downloading music from Choraegus.
