My first handbells arrangement

Post Reply New Topic

"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" arranged for two handbell players, performed by me and my wife. The performance almost didn't happen because our accompanist called in sick at the last minute. The track is actually an older version I'd been using as a demo that still had the piano and handbell tracks, so all I had to do was unmute the piano track and bounce it to a new file. You can catch glimpses of my laptop running Logic Pro 9 behind us!

Wow, that's a lot of bells!

I enjoyed that, thank you.

chords and choreography- what a major undertaking
talent is a nice thing to have.

Thanks for sharing

It's lovely

Thanks, everyone!

@auntblabby: I've never played an instrument before that required choreography. It really is challenging--but to me greater challenges present more satisfaction in the experience.

We'll do an encore performance at the beginning of a local high school band concert, which we're delighted that we've been invited. Next Saturday and Sunday evenings we'll be performing one of my pieces which I call "Rejoice!" based on the tune "Veni Emmanuel." As soon as I have the video, I'll post it as well.
