Handbell music

02.07.2012 News

I directed a handbell choir at my church for a number of years, and I wrote many pieces for these groups.  In many cases I could write a piece tailored to the skills of my ringers faster than I could find a published score that worked.

The first handbell score I am offering on MusicaNeo is 'A Serious Call', for seven ringers. We performed this piece during Lent, and its character is reverent and solemn.  It is easy to play - simple rhythms and a slow tempo. I think it works well in establishing a prayerful, meditative frame of mind.
