FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTHMCGB562 arr. Cathy Moklebust $4.95
3, 4 or 5 octaves with optional 3 octaves handchimes • Level 3 • General • This varied arrangement of the hymntune DIX begins simply, with the melody in the treble bells, and the bass providing a flowing, LV eighth note ac-companiment. The handchimes play the second stanza in a slightly slower tempo. The piece concludes with a lilting, dancing section in 6/8 time, including malleted bass bells and a variety of techniques in the treble, with an upbeat and joyous ending.

GOD REST YE MERRYMCGB557 arr. Judy Phillips $4.50
3, 4, 5 or 6 octaves • Level 3 • Christmas • A delightful staccato accompaniment pattern characterizes this lively setting of the familiar carol, first in the mid-range and then in the treble bells. The melody is then embellished and presented as a canon, before the staccato pattern comes back to end the piece.

REMEMBRANCE (DONNA’S SONG)MCGB564 Margaret R. Tucker $4.95
3, 4 or 5 octaves with optional 2 octaves handchimes • Level 3 • General • Written in memory of a dedicated bell ringer, this original composition suggests the sadness of loss, the joy of life and the affirmation of hope. A plaintive melody is first presented in a minor mode, followed by a light, waltz-like middle section. The original melody then reappears broadly in major mode, followed by a quiet, contemplative ending.

FOUNDATION OF GRACEMCGB563 arr. Anna Laura Page $4.50

10 About the Composer 11
Modest Mussorgsky(1839-1881)
Modest Mussorgsky was an acclaimed Russian composer who was con-sidered a musical innovator. He worked to produce a new style of art music that was specically Russian. Many of his major works were inspired by Russian history, folklore, folksongs, and other nationalist themes, includ-ing the opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on the BaldMountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition. Some of Mussorg-sky’s music was regarded as controversial. Written in 1874, Pictures at anExhibition is a suite of ten piano pieces that is generally considered to be Mussorgsky’s greatest solo piano composition. It has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists, and has also become known through various orches-trations and arrangements.
