Here's a simple way to involve children and/or adults with a variety of different instruments to embellish the Easter service! "Christ Has Redeemed Us" is for unison choir, handbells (2 octaves, 6 bells used - could use the 8-note Hand Bell set by KidsPlay), chimes (3 octaves, 2 chimes used), glockenspiel, and percussion ensemble. However, you can substitute electronic keyboard / celesta for the handbells/chimes parts. Instead of glockenspiel you could substitute 1 or 2-octave handbells (8 bells used; could use the 13-note Hand Bell set by KidsPlay), or electric keyboard, recorder, or flute an octave higher. Score and parts are included, but choir and percussion parts could be easily memorized.
