The Christmas carol Angels We Have Heard on High, sung to the French tune GLORIA is one of rejoicing!
Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Come to Bethlehem and see |
Les anges dans nos campagnes ont entonné l’hymne des cieux; et l’écho de nos montagnes redit ce chant mélodieux. Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Bergers, pour qui cette fête? Cherchons tous l’heureux village |

Hi Larry! I’m interested in previewing your 12 bell music, but I can’t find a preview button. I admit that I’m not really tech-savvy, so I’m probably overlooking something simple. But, can you help? Thanks! Laura Jen (from Embellish, but interested in easier 12 bell music for my small church group)

Hi Laura!
Sorry to say, we don’t provide preview copies of our twelve-bell music; sometime ago, we decided that we’d provide videos or MP3s on the pages for each arrangement (there are preview pages for our music for handbell choirs, however). We figured that the audio/video would be enough to give an idea of how challenging each score is. I would mention that it was a difficult decision to make!
If it helps, here are some of our easier twelve-bell pieces:
Still, Still, Still (with piano accompaniment)
Ah, Holy Jesus
Beach Spring
Give Me Jesus
Morning Has Broken
My Country, ‘Tis of Thee
Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose
Barcarolle
Holy is the Lord
Annie Laurie
Flow Gently, Sweet Afton
Shenandoah
Hope this helps, and happy ringing!
Larry
