This CD offers some of our favorites, a baroque sonata featuring the glorious marriage of handbells and oboe, an energetic arrangement of a hymn standard, ancient airs originally scored for lute, a pop classic from the 60’s and a toe-tapping rag featuring the unlikely combination of handbells and accordion.

Bells of the Lakes CD
Price: $15.00. This CD is also available on iTunes!
We play together in rehearsal and in concert because we love to, and because we relish an approach to handbell ringing which strives for musicality and style. For our first public recording, we are sharing some of our favorite music — some older classics of the handbell literature, as well as some recent contributions to the rich repertoire we all enjoy. It comes in a variety of styles, and includes original works for handbells and some transcriptions and arrangements of other music.
