Return to Handbell – Full Choir

Those Were the Days (Handbells, five to seven octaves, Level 3+)

We’re excited to have permission to arrange the Gene Raskin song Those Were the Days which was recorded by Mary Hopkin in 1968. It’s based on the Russian song “Дорогой длинною” (Dorogoi dlinnoyu, literally “by the long road”). In today’s popular music framework, it’s about youth and celebrating great times.

Handbells (five to seven octaves), with optional mandolin, tambourine, flute, wood block, and kazoo (yes, you read that correctly)
Level 3+
