Once In Royal David’s City (handbell ensemble)

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY – IRBY, arranged by Patricia Hurlbutt for Handbell Ensemble

The Advent melody is clear and bright in a setting that won’t take a lot of rehearsals to master. Assign carefully, however, as the 8 bells here include G6 but do not include G5. Remember when your full choir program is going strong to include a Call to Worship or other element of worship rung by a small ensemble. This not only adds variety to your worship services and concerts but also spiritual depth and diversity.
