Return to Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker – Eight handbells

Tchaikovsky – Nutcracker – Dance of the Reed Flutes – Eight handbells

You might also know this one as The Merlitons (another word for the type of flute that Tchaikovsky had in mind when he wrote this piece). The pastoral color of the original comes out well in this eight-bell adaptation, and we know you’ll enjoy playing it!

Standard Version:
”Dual-Range”™ Score Package: $8.00 US
G5-based practice track: $2.00 US
F5-based practice track: $2.00 US


This arrangement is also included in Larry and Carla’s Eight-Bell Nutcracker Collection.

But wait! If you’d rather get the whole set of eight-bell Nutcracker pieces and save some money…

Purchasing this 8-bell arrangement gives you permission to print and maintain up to four copies for your handbell group (plus the accompaniment score, 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.
