Brethren

Most of my handbell music has been published by Jeffers Handbell Supply. One of my favorite pieces is an arrangement of "Brethren, We Have Met to Worship". It is for 3-5 octaves. It has a lot of fun things about it: lots of synchopation, martelatos, swings, shakes... It has been a great seller. In fact, the year it was published it came out in August and it sold more copies than any other piece Jeffers published that year. As a result, I was named Jeffers' Composer of the Year for 1996. How fun is that? You can get your own copy from Jeffers. 1-800-JHS-BELL.
