Composed by Jacob B. Weber. Arranged by John A. Behnke. Handbells. Score. Concordia Publishing House #978110. Published by Concordia Publishing House (CR.978110).
ISBN 9780758678256.
John A. Behnke’s vibrant arrangement of "Ding Dong! Merrily on High" brings Jacob B. Weber’s original organ setting from Three European Carols to life in a sparkling and idiomatic handbell translation. The piece’s lively, jubilant character perfectly matches the carol text—"in heaven the bells are ringing!"—making it an ideal showcase for the instrument. This arrangement employs a vast array of handbell techniques, including martellato, mallet work, shakes, thumb damps, swings, LV, and multiple key changes that add brilliance and momentum. A standout moment occurs in measures 44–49, where the chiming high E bell shines—difficult to achieve on organ but effortless and delightful on bells. With its high energy and festive flair, this arrangement is a superb choice for Christmas concerts and services.
