Today’s arrangement is our Holy Manna for eight handbells. It was one of the first four-in-hand duets written when we (finally!) were together in California, and it still is one of our favorite concert pieces.
A story: Carla moved to the US in 2012, and just after we arrived home in California, the organist at church called to ask if we might play for our church’s services. Okay – no problem! And then “Can you play three pieces?” As our repertoire was still in its infancy, we were just barely able to reply, “Well… we HAVE three pieces.” So that Sunday, we played literally everything we had, and this was one of those three pieces.
Purchasing this 8-bell arrangement gives you permission to print and maintain up to four copies for your handbell group (plus the accompaniment/instrumental score(s), if part of the purchase) – so you only need to pay once. Purchase also gives permission for performance, broadcasting, live-streaming and video-sharing online. See our licensing agreement for full details, and please remember to mention the title and arranger of the piece on video-sharing sites, social media and any printed materials such as concert programs.
