Our CD titled "Christmas Reflections"
includes many arrangements for three to five/six or four octaves of
handbells. This recording has doubled bass and treble lines to
enable the performance of existing literature published for a smaller
instrument on a larger instrument. In other selections Choirchimes© have
been added where they are not indicated in the score to enhance
the musical interpretation. |
