The Church Chimer; a collection of tunes compiled by Tom Howell playable on a chime of 8 diatonic bells (written from C to C, without any black notes required). The particular value of this new book is the focus on the smaller chime, those of 8 bells and less. It has a 100 or more tunes, and in addition, there are 15 bell methods, all painstakingly typeset in treble-clef notation – a most useful resource for chimers and carillonneurs who want to perform change-ringing as part of their recital or as a call to worship for church-based instruments.
A comprehensive databases of hymn tunes that exist in published carillon music, along with a database of the three liturgical years’ worth of readings, with suggested hymn tunes for each Sunday of the three liturgical years, plus special liturgical festivals, for Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel (2 tunes for each Gospel reading, since the preacher usually preaches on this) for the Revised Common Lectionary, which is based on the 1969 Ordo Lectionem Missae, and therefore basically used by Roman Catholic, and all mainline Protestant Churches, mostly worldwide. The special liturgical festivals include Marian festivals in the Catholic Church, and festivals such as Reformation in the Lutheran denominations; John Widmann.
