This is spectacular! I used to ring duet handbells - so I know how incredibly difficult this is! We certainly never did anything as complex and delightful as this!! Amazing job ringers!!
Handbell Quartet was the most fun I have ever had musically, and I've played several different instruments professionally. Learning not to be possesive of the bells is a challenge: "My bell!" "No, mine!! Wish I was still playing in one.
This is amazing! So nice to see ringers under 60!!!!! And ringers having FUN!!!!!!! Great energy. Thanks so much for this. Keep on ringing and having fun. (And getting great exercise in the process!!!!!:) Thanks again.
You all did an amazing job!!! I’m in my church Bell Choir, and am excited to see what we do. For you to share your talents with your parish & the world is beautiful! PTL!!🙌✝️💜
Very well done. Having to memorize the music, along with remembering where you are going next and handing what bells or mallets to who next makes this a complex piece!
Good question! They wear cotton gloves with extra padding in certain places in order to keep their hands from getting blisters. Even so, they sometimes still get blisters!
The Hallelujah Chorus was NOT written to be played at Christmas! The entire oratorio was written to be played at EASTER as the Hallelujah Chorus celebrates the RESURRECTION of Christ not his birth! People need to EDUCATE themselves as it’s all written IN THE SCORE. I walk out of any concert when they begin to play this at Christmas.
You're right about the Hallelujah Chorus not being intended for Christmas, but I disagree that the entire oratorio was written for Easter. Part One of the Oratorio covers the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah, his birth, and his ministry of salvation. I don't mind listening to at least that part during Advent and/or Christmas 😊
Absolutely correct! My late father and I were delivering Easter lilies to a church. They were having a choir rehearsal and they were trying to finish the piece and the tenor section wasn’t doing so hot, so as my late father and I were moving flowers in, I was singing the tenor line and flawlessly executed the ending. The director turns to me and asks “can you come back on Sunday?” And I was like, I’m sorry, but I’m already singing at another church, but thanks for the offer though.
Switching bells and positions at the table is soooooo distracting. This can take away from the experience of listening. With this song, it’s about the reverence of who it is about. Other songs can showcase the players ability to move around and have fun, but this piece should receive some respect and worship. Our group of 6 played the same piece without moving around. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

Bravo! Fantastic! May be my favorite handbell performance ever! The practice that must have taken! Again, bravo!

Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the gloves?
Good question! They wear cotton gloves with extra padding in certain places in order to keep their hands from getting blisters. Even so, they sometimes still get blisters!
Is this an LCMS or ELCA congregation?

I enjoy worship anytime! ❤️
(dads acct) if i played the bells like that (i know they were careful but honestly it doesn't look like that) my music teacher would kill me¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They are actually pretty careful, but they do damage a bell every once in a while 😜
Well, I guess they won't have to go to the gym for a while. LOL That IS a work out!!!!
It is! And more fun than the gym too 😅
Wow! They need a traffic cop!
Congratulations, but to me, it seems harried. With a bigger group, it would be magical. My 2 cents.

Close your eyes! Just because your group of six chose to it another doesn't make it the best. There was no breaking of the reverence of this classic.
Incredible!!
WOW!!!
