Eight-Bell Collections

What’s better than buying a bunch of eight-bell scores from Choraegus? Buying an eight-bell collection from Choraegus, of course! The reason is that the collection is priced so you get one piece for free. Now, we admit that you’d usually want to be able to use all of them – but if there’s a piece that’s unfamiliar, perhaps it’ll give you a new performance item.

Our collections are clusters of pieces that are related. Our “Surprisingly Easy”™ collections are, by far, the most popular. If you have two, three, or four ringers and need something that will come together reasonably quickly – and which sounds like it’s more than something overly simple – these easier collections are for you!

There are a few “standard” (meaning not-completely-easy) collections that contain more interesting scores. Those work nicely, especially if you’ve accumulated some experience with eight-bell music. If you’re looking for something that will challenge you moderately (YMMV), these are for you!

Whatever your skill level, we have an eight-bell collection that will work for you and your small group!

Note: Unfortunately, we’re unable to accept requests for custom collections. It would require an assembly charge that would make that custom collection cost more than buying the individual pieces separately. So we apologize in advance, hoping that you’ll understand. Besides, we’ve made it easy to get all of the music you want; just put each one in your cart, check out and pay, and then download!

Eight-Handbell Collections – “Surprisingly Easy”™

Each of our “Surprisingly Easy”™ eight-bell collections contains seven (or more!) arrangements. That means you get at least one piece free when you buy the collection (rather than the individual pieces). Our Surprisingly Easy”™ Eight-Bell Collection is a set of pieces written to celebrated Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th anniversary jubilee. These came together when Carla …

Eight-Handbell Collections – Standard

We have a few “standard” eight-bell collections. These are more challenging than our “Surprisingly Easy”™ eight-bell collections; they’ll keep you on your toes for a while! We have a jig collection. These are five Irish jigs, arranged for just eight handbells. As we learned them, we found that they were not just fun to play …
