Happy (Piano solo)

We received a request to make a solo piano version of Happy, the 1920s-styled Low Ding Zone original handbell piece, and so now we have a new score for you to enjoy! Oh… please note that it’s not to be confused with the Pharrell Williams song from a few years back… Price: handbell choir–>.

Merry Christmas!

As I write this from our home in Michigan, the storms pummeling most of the country have brought us lots of white, fluffy snow. It’s been accumulating all over our neighborhood, and has been constantly falling because of the “lake effect”. We love it here in winter! We hope you’ve had a good year, wherever …

It’s Our Anniversary!

Today is our tenth anniversary! Not Choraegus (we celebrated 26 years at the end of last year), but OURS, as in Larry & Carla. From God making it possible for us to meet on the Handbell Community Online, to Facebook, to Skype, and through the Bay View Week of Handbells, where we met and got …

While on the Sea (UKRAINE) – eight handbells and piano

We go through our life as if navigating a great ocean in a small boat. The waves are large, and threaten us continually. The water is unfathomably deep, and we fear what might happen if we were dumped into it. And so we pray to God for protection and safety, for He is our hope. …
