Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy ~ Quartet
I really like this actually!! I just wish there was a version for larger ensembles.
It's a great pallet change to any advanced handbell Christmas program. After I listened to it, I laughed out loud because somehow I already knew who wrote it and it fits Caleb to a tee.
I've got to know. Who is this? Hahaha. I really love that this piece has been embraced by the advanced handbell community.
@@calebonstead7143 Ask Sherri.
This goes hard, played last year on bells tour and it was so cool!!
So glad you liked this! Brian did a fab job scoring it for bells.
Ooo...looking forward to getting to ring this one! Love all the syncopation and energy. Count, count, count.
Nice!
So much love for this and for Zenith ❤
YES!! THIS IS AWESOME
This is very cinematic. I bet Matthew would deliver a killer film score should he get the chance
What an outstanding Christmas showstopper! So glad to see you're publishing more of Fred's music! We always are in need of more Fred Gramann
SO COOL! I really hope this is a DB or Bay View Piece. I want to play this one.
I can tell Kurt has been spending a lot of time with Jason Krug haha
'promosm'
That is pretty darn good.
This made my whole day. I'm obsessed 😁😍
I like the idea of scoring with two treble clefs to make it easier for various sized groups to read. I also like that From the Top is now printing chime parts in red in addition to the diamond note heads. That also makes reading easier. Lovely melody. Caleb is still quite young, and I really look forward to seeing what more he writes!
Thank you so much my friend!! I have NO intentions of slowing down. Handbells are my primary instrument and I plan to release a *large* body of work. I SO appreciate your support
Totally agree!
𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐦 😒
Glad this is finally in print!
Finally...? hmm. Have a good evening.
VERY nice!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for the post, Caleb! Brian rocked it...
So glad to see Fred published again ❤️
A sea shanty
Essentially! That's definitely the flavor I was looking for.
Wow! Absolutely my new FAVORITE arrangement of this piece. So incredibly creative!!
Glad you like it! Composer did an amazing job on this one!
I love this piece
So glad to see this in print! Made my day!
