Thundersnow is an unusual kind of thunderstorm, with snow falling instead of rain. It typically falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of an extratropical cyclone. This tone poem captures the feel of the gently falling snow becoming more intense and yes – even lightning and thunder – portrayed by creative, rhythmic malleting, mart-lifts and shakes. The addition of optional sleigh bells tops it off! The wonderful story behind this commission and its inspiration is included in the score. This is an exciting, fresh, creative work which will delight your ringers and audience! WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6ZWGyRV-E&t=4s

The musical term passacaglia is from the Spanish pasar [to pass] and calle [street] and referred to street dancing in Spain in the 1600s. This form, whose structure typically features an ostinato bass line, developed into a more majestic dance in France, and has been used across all classical musical eras from Bach to the present. This original work is written in 3/4 time, with the overall structure being symmetrical: simple beginning, progressive development reaching a musical peak, then returning to a simple ending. The opening ostinato bass line is the common thread throughout as additional musical lines are added and well-crafted variations are developed. Half note, quarter note, then eighth and sixteenth note passages and triplets in the treble bells add a sense of movement while the bass line remains constant. Dynamics gradually increase to ff, which remains until the complexity and dynamics decrease to the lovely but simple ending. Simply stated: this is beautifully written music that will be wonderful in concert, worship (even in Lent), and in any memorial or remembrance event.

The scripture passage in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, with its themes of love, kindness, patience, endurance, and hope, is illustrated in the various sections of this gorgeous original composition with gentle, flowing lines and lofty melodies.

Composer, Jon Schmidt, was inspired to create this original piano work in celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He wanted to recreate a ‘wash’ of sound heard that day from the bells ringing throughout the countryside. The arranger has included many LV passages offset by table mallet sections. The original piano score cautions musicians to keep the repeated notes subtle. Directors and ringers are encouraged to keep LV passages clean and to gently execute the repeated notes. R passages can be rung with a ‘delayed damp’ to make those lines smooth. Add some Shakes and well-placed dynamics for a joyous sound from beginning to end! LISTEN:

A haunting and mysterious opening – provided by singing bell, bass chimes, and suspended bells played with mallets – gives way to a delicate verse of this Lenten hymn. A flowing eighth note pattern leads to a key change and the final, triumphant verse before the piece returns to the feel of the beginning. A perfect choice for any solemn service during the Lenten season.

This stirring setting of SLANE was created in memory of the arranger's great-grandmother, whose eyes were always focused on the Lord. While the primary tune is BE THOU MY VISION, fragments of OPEN MY EYES, THAT I MAY SEE are woven into the rich texture of the music. Shining through in the arranging is the message of the hymn, particularly its final triumphant stanza: "Great God of Heaven, Thy victory won..." Challenging in spots, yet very accessible.

"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" is a 1983 instrumental work by BAFTA, Golden Globe, Grammy & Academy Awards-winning Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952–2023), recorded for the film of the same name. Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (戦場のメリークリスマス, Senjō no Merī Kurisumasu) also known as Furyo (Japanese for 'prisoner of war'), is a 1983 war film co-written and directed by Nagisa Ōshima, co-written by Paul Mayersberg, and produced by Jeremy Thomas. The film is based on the experiences of Sir Laurens van der Post (portrayed by Tom Conti) as a prisoner of war in Japanese-occupied Java (Indonesia) during World War II. It stars David Bowie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi Kitano, and Jack Thompson. This film is about pain, betrayal, honor, sacrifices, suffering, forgiveness, resolution, resolving, and friendship. This piece was selected as the choice piece by the Handbell Ringers of Singapore for the 2024 International Handbell Symposium at Hamamatsu (Japan). Note from the Publisher: The International Handbell Symposium is a unique and special opportunity to bring humanity, friendship, music, and cultural exchanges when visiting 8 countries in 16 years. One must not forget why this symposium was established 40 years ago: World Peace thru the Spirit of Music (IHC, 1990). Thus, thru this song, let us all remember that “NEVER AGAIN” (Hiroshima, 1945) shall we allow the past to repeat itself. Let us Come Together as One, Resolve our Differences, Love One Another and Bring Together a new chapter of World Peace thru Handbell Music.
