Handbell Processional

The eye-catching and giggle-invoking cover graphic belies a more serious 5-octave handbell work. This piece was created during Matt’s 30+ year career as Director of Music within the church world. He often composed or arranged for the handbell choirs he directed.

Intended as a dramatic musical opening for a service or concert event, the first 16 measures may be repeated as a processional, until all ringers are at the tables and ready to perform the rest of the piece.
