Sixteen Bells and Michigan

By admin in Choraegus, Handbells, Sixteen-Bell

We’ve added a new sixteen-handbell score to our catalog, Prelude No. 1 from J.S. Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier”. You can play it as a four-in-hand quartet (as friends from Bells of the Sound demonstrate in their video), or you can gather as many as eight musicians to play it. Take a look! * * * We’re …

Larry Sue has been a church musician since 1974, when he became the accompanist for his church’s new youth choir. That led to opportunities with guitar, voice (natural-range baritone, but usually tenor, and occasionally bass and alto), keyboards, electric bass, choral conducting, and choral composing.

I started Choraegus ShareMusic as a way to share my music with the public. My initial impression was that I was arriving a bit late in the game. What I didn’t know, being a newbie, was that 1995 actually was still in the beginning stages of the Internet. There were only about 25,000 Web sites …
