Handbell "Solo" - Born This Way - Lady Gaga

My arrangement of Born This Way for handbells. Written for four parts, all played by me and overdubbed in the audio. I apologize for the bad video, forogt my camera and had to use the webcam.

Hopefully the first in a series of pop song arrangements.

Thanks for sharing. That's a lot of work you put into this video! How many separate tracks did you have to use for this recording?

[bellboy1290]

@OrganistAnthony There are four separate tracks, mostly malleted bass, chords, and two melody/counter-melody lines.

What was the technique called when you lowered the bells into that plastic box?

[bellboy1290]

@22catherineissexy22 The box is actually filled with water and by dipping the lip of the bell in, the pitch is lowered. The idea comes from a percussion technique called a water gong in which a gong is struck and lowered into water, effecting the pitch. It will work with any metal such as a gong, cymbal, crotales, and in this case handbells!!

Do you ever sell your arrangements? I would love to play around with this!

[bellboy1290]

@hutley13 Not as of right now, I do not have anything available. I am however working working on getting a few original pieces for full choir published.

[bellboy1290]

@chocosox500 Yes, I own my own 3 octave set, and am actually getting the upper 4th octave probably next month
