Celebrating Women's History Month: Handbell Composers
By Kathy Lowrie on 3/16/2026
During this Women’s History Month we celebrate the many awe-inspiring women who have provided Choristers Guild with insightful leadership and exceptional music through the years.
We would especially like to honor and lift up the extraordinary women whose handbell music is published through the Choristers Guild catalog. These incredible composers have made significant contributions to the handbell community, and it is our pleasure to make their music available to handbell ensembles across the country and around the world.
Below we are highlighting a few favorites for springtime and general use, with our gratitude to these women and all of the composers and arrangers who share their wonderful music through the Choristers Guild catalog.
