Re repertoire for few ringers

Consider a change ringing sequence for the number of bells you have, one bell per person, or if really ambitious two bells per person.  If you are not familiar with change ringing, I estimate about a half hour of research, and then about another half hour to write each bell's sequence on a card for the person to follow.  Depending on the available time in your program, you could ring all or only a portion of a full sequence of changes.  It's easy to learn - my daughter got non-musical volunteers from a Ren Fair audience to change ring with these cards.

There is also a ton of 12 bells in F and other 12 bell music at Jeffers website.  Most of this is a solid level 2.

• Repertoire for 6 ringers - 4 Updates

Repertoire for 6 ringers

Wendy Cheng <hohvi...@gmail.com>: Apr 04 04:26PM -0700 Hi everyone,   The community handbell choir which I drect at my federal agency have been asked to ring during coffee hour at an eent.. This is early morning around 8;30 am and we have half an (half an hour) or 30 minutes to perform.   I know I have at least 6 ringers who are availabe at that time, but I am a bit stumped on repertoire. We ring mostly level 2 and level 3 music. So I am looking for music that would be suited to background music and won't take too long to learn.   Thank you for any assistance you can provide!   Wendy   Director, White Oak Ringers MD, MD

Wendy Cheng <hohvi...@gmail.com>: Apr 04 04:28PM -0700 Addendum to previous email -   We may have only 4 instead of 6. Only of of them can ring 4-in-hand I think.   All suggestion for repertoire greatly welcome!   Wendy   On Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 7:26:20 PM UTC-4 Wendy Cheng wrote:

Ann Frederking <viol...@gmail.com>: Apr 04 07:51PM -0400 I highly recommend Jason's selections for 8 or 12 bells. They were the mainstay of our playing during the pandemic depending on whether the church let us have 5 or slightly more people together at one time. If you want a richer sound, most have OPTIONAL piano accompaniment. Check the Levels for them as some are easier than others, but most are sufficiently complex that your ringers will enjoy playing them. And they are very reasonably priced with permission to print the number of copies you need and with streaming permission as well.   > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/handbell-l/IA1PR15MB631890BAB174932D1787FD28C93C2%40IA1PR15MB6318.namprd15.prod.outlook.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/handbell-l/IA1PR15MB631890BAB174932D1787FD28C93C2%40IA1PR15MB6318.namprd15.prod.outlook.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > .   --   **************************************************   2023 Christmas letter - https://violaann.smugmug.com/Other/Christmas-2023/n-J4sFTJ/   Ann's hostas, about 200 varieties, updated for 2022,start at: https://violaann.smugmug.com/Garden/Hostas/Hostas-in-my-garden-A/ rchestra.com/ <http://www.ottawachamberorchestra.com/>   **************************************************
