The Flower Duet from Lakme for Handbells, Viola, and Organ

This duet from Lakmé is one of the most wonderful pieces of music ever composed. It lends itself so beautifully to the singing tone of English Handbells, and the orchestral style accompaniment provided by Viola and Pipe Organ. It was a great pleasure to perform this live in Daniels Recital Hall in Seattle, Washington.

Musicians include Lynn Andersen, Corentin Pokorny, Romaric Pokorny, and Mark Andersen. This particular arrangement was done by Mark Andersen, based on a Handbell arrangement by Charlotte Hoover.

Beautiful! It took me a while to try to figure out why it sounded so familiar despite the unfamiliar title. Then I realized that the Phantom Regiment (DCI) had played it in their wonderful "On Air" show a few years back.

@DarkPhantomJedi The Opera Lakmé has been around since 1883. The Flower Duet is from that Opera, by Léo Delibes.
