Brilliant and clear, like the stars on a cold winter’s night, infuse your home with the joyful sounds of handbell arrangements of favorite carols including “Ding Dong! Merrily on High,” “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” and more.
Playing on a six-and-a-half octave set of Malmark handbells, the young musicians of Gloriæ Dei Ringers explore the full range of Christmas cheer and wonder – from the tenderness of “Away in a Manger” to the majestic expanse of “A Flight of Angels” – all in arrangements that showcase the tremendous musicality and unique spirit of handbells.
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
