Appropriate for worship or concert, quartet setting of this favorite is a sure winner. Practical and light, the use of mallets brings a lively dimension to this tune. This is a bright, fresh setting with great technical facility.
BOLERAS SEVILLANAS - Traditional Spanish/arr. Karen Roth - 3-7 octave handbells - Level III
Short, lively, and packs a punch! Great music artfully arranged in a setting that will take experienced groups only a couple of rehearsals to make concert-ready and makes for great technical and musical learning for less experienced groups. A perfect encore!

BY AND BY - Spiritual/arr. Karen Roth - handbell quartet
From the African spiritual, direct in its message; moving and lifting. Syncopation and accented offbeats are a challenge along with the mix between ringing and staccato techniques. A similar look between all ringers will enhance the visual aspect of the presentation.
DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH - Traditional/arr. Karen Roth - handbell duet/trio/quartet
Another amazing 8 bell (9th bell optional on the last note) work! This will have your audience or congregation wondering where all the music came from. Assign to just two ringers for a four-in-hand challenge, or to three or four ringers for quick mastery.
Ding Dong Merrily on High (handbell duet/trio/quartet)
ENGLISH DANCE - arr. Kevin McChesney - handbell duet/trio/quartet
Play this lively 9-bell arrangement with as few as two ringers - or assign to as many as four to minimize techniques needed and rehearsal time. Use for any occasion! A single page with built-in repeat.
GOIN' HOME - Antonin Dvorak/arr. Karen Roth - handbell trio
Beautiful in its simplicity! This true-to-the-original piece is an easy to learn two-pager that will require little practice for a seasoned ensemble or be quite approachable for any trio.
