About BellPrint
I began this website to share handbell sheet music that I have written for my own handbell choirs and for myself to perform as a handbell soloist. All pieces are downloadable files. Once you purchase a file you have permission to make as many copies as you need for your own choir, or for yourself and your accompanist if you are a soloist.
You can rest assured that these pieces have been tested out by actual bell ringers. There are a lot of pieces suitable for children and youth choirs as well as adult choirs. I have started by publishing pieces that are especially suitable for beginning and developing choirs and many pieces that are perfect for smaller choirs. I will continue to add more music, so keep checking back! I also have some arrangements for solo handbell ringers. I am a solo ringer myself, so my solo handbell compositions are all ones that I have performed.
About Debra LeBrun
My career as a musician began on the organ and piano and I obtained bachelor’s and master’s degrees in organ performance. While I was in college I started to ring handbells and fell in love with the instrument. Since then I have rang, directed, and composed music for handbells. I have performed and taught at local, regional, and national handbell events, and have participated in 6 International Handbell Symposiums. My love for handbells has taken me all over the world! I began to study solo ringing around 2010. I perform solo concerts and teach workshops and coaching sessions in solo ringing.
I serve as the Director of Music and Worship at Raleigh Court United Methodist Church in Roanoke, Virginia, where I direct a music ministry that includes multiple handbell choirs, singing choirs, and other musical groups. I also play the organ and piano for worship services. In 2021 I became the Director of the Mill Mountain Ringers, the only community handbell choir in the Roanoke Valley. I formerly was the Minister of Music at the Congregational Church of Littleton in Littleton, Massachusetts, where I developed an extensive music ministry for all ages. While in Massachusetts I also rang with the New England Ringers. Over the years I have served Handbell Musicians of America in Area 1 and Area 3 and I am currently a member of the Area 3 board.
