Thank you all for the great suggestions. This is for a nearby church with a new director with no handbell experience so it will be easy and effective.

Taps

Jay Jay <suntanned...@gmail.com>: Aug 17 09:43AM -0400 Here is a link the easiest music I know of for Taps. Pay careful attention to tempo and rhythm--the rhythm printed here isn't what a lot of people think of when they hear Taps. This music is also written in B-flat (for trumpet or bugle) so you may want to transpose it for handbells.   I rang this on Memorial Day Monday in my local cemetary as part of Taps Across America...incredibly moving music, despite it's simplicity!   https://www.bands.army.mil/music/buglecalls/taps.asp   Jim Costilow Apex, NC

Ann Wood <dawoo...@gmail.com>: Aug 17 11:40AM -0400 I assume you're wanting to do it on handbells! A soloist could do it from a table or a belltree or 4-in-hand (there are only 4 notes in the tune). If you want a choir to play it, I'd suggest a singing bell major chord in the key you're playing in under the tune (which could be on bells or chimes). I found lots of sources online for a free copy of the tune. The standard key is Bb major, but since it's normally played on a trumpet or bugle, much of the music is in C (because those instruments transpose). Hope this helps. Ann Wood
