Reproducible CGB995
Easy Hymn Accompaniments Reproducible Accompaniments for Twelve Familiar Hymns for 2, 3, 4 or 5 octaves handbells or handchimes with voice(s) and/or instrument (Bf or C treble, C bass, and/or keyboard)
by
Margaret R. Tucker These arrangements may be used in several ways: • as accompaniment for group singing of hymns, with or without a solo instrument playing the melody, and with or without keyboard • as accompaniment for a vocal or instrumental soloist singing/ playing the melody • as accompaniment for piano/organ playing of hymnal version (see Hymnal Index on page 3 for compatible hymnal versions) • as an alternate accompaniment for one or more stanzas of a hymn (with or without organ/piano or solo instrument) Although a few accidentals occur in these arrangements, those notes may be omitted by the beginning choir, if desired. Shakes may also be omitted. Hymns #1 - #4 are all in the key of F major and may be played as a medley, as may hymns 5 - 8 (D major) and hymns 9 - 12 (G major.) An introduction to each hymn can be provided by keyboard (playing the final phrase of the hymn) or by bells/chimes (ringing the final phrase of the melody line.) This entire set of hymns may be played as a medley with piano or organ. At the end of hymns #4 and #8, the pianist/organist should repeat the final chord followed by the dominant 7th chord of the next key.
