Grazioso - Handchimes

[isaa981]

handbells and handchimes have a nice sound and its fun playing in school

[jordanmacenko1]

Our handbell choir played this at our church in zanesville, Ohio and we also played this at our handbell festival

[warlordofblood]

i jus love these instruments used to play them relli brings back those memories (:

[lausnowman]

Yes! I was addicted to this beautiful melody when the first time I heard the piece.

[MikadoObsessed]

how did you reduce the score? because i'm sure that there are notes in that song below a C4

[lausnowman]

The composer has already reduced it! All notes in brackets are not apply to 3 octaves choir!

i remember playing this song for a state festival, it was great and especially memorable because Arnold Sherman was the conductor, i never realized how sad a song it was until he told us the meaning of everything in it.

[lausnowman]

Arnold Sherman conducted this piece? I'm envy you! :)

Yes, I've also told my student brifely about the background of this piece, they were touched with it!

[MikadoObsessed]

i want my 8th grade class to do this but we cant because there are only 8 of us

[lausnowman]

I've got this problem before... :(

[ILYJoanna]

Why are they all wearing gloves?

[lausnowman]

for protecting the instrument! :)

[ILYJoanna]

Ooh, I see now. When we play we don't use gloves. I LOVE playing them. :D

[lausnowman]

Yes!!! me too!! :)

[SFU14D]

Yup, I'm Damien. I think we met last year at Orlando :-) Are you Mandy?

[lausnowman]

OH Yes!!!!!!! How can you even remember my name?!!

Really nice to meet you here!!

[SFU14D]

Fabulously controlled. Well done :-) How old are the children? Who's the conductor? Bravo :-)

[lausnowman]

Thank you so much! :)

They were 10-11 years old and I'm the conductor.

[lausnowman]

Are you the director from Singapore and have attended the National Seminar in Orlando last year?

[Ashley028907]

OMG this is making me cry. I haven't played this song since the 8th grade. I miss it so much!

[lausnowman]

Yes, you're right!! It's so touching!!! Hope you like this!!

[NoticTheSheriff]

This is so cute!!!! I want to see handchime/handbell together. I think the two sounds would compliment each other really well.

[lausnowman]

you're right! :)

[Dinomonst1]
