    To 'TheNameIsAxxeline" - Yes! Animation! Too many times we ringers get stuck staring and frowning at the printed page and forget we are performers. This one was nothing short of superb!

    The name of the piece is Sabre Dance for those who are interested in the name..

    I have played in two five-octave bell choirs. This is a good example of why it's nice to have a couple of husky ken to play the bigger bells.

    wow!!!! they took what was probably a very challenging song and had a lot fun with it. i was impressed they were able to look away from their music and yet stay on the beat together. it shows they know the music very well. just.. wow! it was really good!

    I WISH we had "goofballs" like y'all in our group! It's all I can do to convince them to try to smile once in a while. You all have seriously raised the bar on the art of bell playing. We want more videos from you! :-)

    We had a bell choir in my elementary public school in Seattle. I always wished I wasn't so lazy because I wanted to be in it. You had to get to school two hours early to practice. Instead I was only in the regular choir which had practice an hour before school started but I could have been in both choirs. Oh well they often performed at the same events as us so I got to listen. At the end of Scrooge the musical film with Albert Finney they have a really awesome bell performance.

      SerafinaStarstrider So what's stopping you from joining a handbell ensemble now? I just did about 3 months ago, and it is simply wonderful - I am expanding my musicianship by playing with others, and I'm only responsible for 3 notes! Most community handbell choirs are always looking for ringers, and I'm in a very supportive group - do yourself a favor, and check it out! Aloha from Honolulu!

    The Raleigh Ringers use the aluminum. Actually, I think below a certain pitch that's the only way you can buy them.

    • @jacklogansmith7646
      @jacklogansmith7646 7 років тому

      Daryl Stephens Well, you can definetly get brass going all the way down to C2 - that's what my bell choir has, and we primarily use Schulmerich (we have some Malmarks, but only for when we need to double a bell).

    • @JohnSmith-ku1dr

      Jack Logansmith I think you mean bronze, brass should never be used for handbells as it sounds terrible.

  • @chrissyjoy08
    @chrissyjoy08 14 років тому

    What kind of bells are those? They're definitely not White Chapels, I know that. Are they Mallmark? Shulmerich? I've played all three types and I've played the big bells down to a G3, I believe, and I don't recall seeing any bells that large. Also the tone sounds slightly different (weird) to what I'm used to playing, especially the high bells sound different. I usually play a 4-in-hand with G6-C7 plus accidentals.

    @RonN448 12 років тому

    C'mon, people. Don't be so hard on "lovebrenda." It's easy for people to get some songs, and classical/semi-classical pieces mixed-up. In fact, I just discovered that I got two of Sousa's marches mixed-up. I found that the march that I thought was The Thunderer, isn't The Thunderer, at all! Now, I'm still trying to figure out the name of the one I've been playing. And, I've been playing these marches for several decades. Meh...I'll just chalk it up to a brain fart.

    I never did understand why someone would try to write "humming" out on this. All we see are words. With no sounds, or rhythm, it's a lot of nonsense words.
