Fall 2026 Handbell Releases

Greetings, friends!

We are delighted to share our Fall 2026 handbell and handchime publications! This release is designed to provide music to inspire, challenge, and support your ringers. Whether you direct a church choir, school ensemble, or advanced community group, our new publications offer a broad range of styles, levels, and seasonal uses to enrich your repertoire

Here you will find pieces that highlight the full expressive range of handbells—lyrical settings for worship, energetic selections for concerts, accessible music for developing choirs, and more intricate concert works designed to stretch experienced ringers. Some of the works include additional instrumentation.

We are excited to highlight Karen L. Buckwalter’s Gifts of the Seasons—a flexible-voicing, small ensemble collection with piano designed to accommodate varying numbers of ringers. Another valuable new collection is Let Praises Fill the Sky—an accessible, multi-composer volume published in editions for 2-3 and 3-5 octaves.

Throughout this new release you will find the hallmarks you have come to expect from Choristers Guild handbell and handchime publications—clear notation, thoughtful writing, and engaging musical ideas that encourage teamwork, precision, and artistry.

We invite you to listen to the recordings as you explore these new resources, envisioning how they will inspire your ringers and resonate with your listeners.

Thank you for your leadership, your dedication to excellence, and the music-making you bring to your community.

With appreciation,

Victor C. Johnson
