The Handchime Choir at Traut is a
non-auditioned performance group
comprised of second through sixth
graders. The 21 members of this group
rehearse one morning a week before

Linda McKechnie
Harold Flammer Music, 1988, HL5232
Part of an integrated curriculum for handbells and
handchimes, this piece is one of the ringer’s favorites.
Large full chords keep everyone busy and the repetitive nature of the piece challenges the ringer’s ability
to keep a steady tempo.
Celebration Number 5 in C
Michael Keller
Hope Publishing Company, 1993, HB1615
Part of a collection titled 5 Easy Celebrations written
to be used by young ringers, the piece is written in a
bold fanfare style. The pieces in this collection teach
different rhythmic concepts and utilize a variety of
handbell techniques.
I’m Just a Poor Wayfaring Stranger
American Spiritual, arr. Tammy Waldrop
Hope Publishing Company, 2006, HB2343
This arrangement invokes the style of American
Mountain and Bluegrass music. The choir has taken
this piece written originally for handbells use and
adapted various stopped techniques to fit the handchimes.
A Grand Celebration
Derek K. Hakes, The Lorenz Corp., 2008, AG35271
An original composition originally designed to be
rung by handbells with optional handchimes, the
Traut Chimes choir has again adapted various techniques to fit their own instrument. The piece included
staccato and swing techniques and some fairly
sophisticated syncopated rhythms.
Bingo’s Travels
Arr. James C. Smith
Composers Music Company, 2007, CP7030
This piece written in Rondo form and is rung and
shouted with enthusiasm by the ringers. This piece
utilizes the familiar Bingo theme and includes visits
to the “Erie Canal”, “The Streets of Laredo” and the
“Camptown Races”.
Handbell technique classes throughout the Midwest and Rocky Mountain
regions. She is currently the Northern
Colorado Chairperson for the Colorado chapter of the American Guild of
English Handbell Ringers.
