About this arrangement

Handbell choir handbell (3-6 octaves handbell choir) - Grade 3 SKU: BP.HB644 Composed by Karen Lake Buckwalter. Arranged by Karen Lake Buckwalter. Handbell choir music. Octavo. Beckenhorst Press #HB644. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB644). Arranged for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir with optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 3. A series of fantasia-like chords underpin this moving arrangement of the hymn tune IRBY. Open and often unexpected harmonies accompany an otherwise straightforward setting of the tune before it gets combined with the tune ST. LOUIS (O Little Town of Bethlehem). A more traditional iteration of the tune follows before returning once more to the feeling of the opening. A gorgeous setting for your holiday service or concert.
