Here’s a meditative piece which you can play at any time when a thoughtful, contemplative atmosphere is planned. Formerly named “Lenten Piece”, Meditation actually can be used for much, much more than its original concept!
We have two videos below. The first recording shows how Tintabulations Handbell Ensemble from Reno-Sparks, Nevada played it. The second demonstrates the piece on five octaves of handchimes. Meditation on handbells works wonderfully, and on handchimes it takes on a particularly mysterious quality!
Handbells (two, three, four, or five octaves)

Hi Jackie!
You should have already received an email from us with a download link that you can use to get a PDF of the music you’ve just purchased. Once you’ve downloaded the file, you can print and play!
Thanks again for choosing Choraegus!
Sincerely,

Hi,
Just purchased this piece this morning for my 2-octave handbell choir at church. When I made the purchase, the website gave one option only — a single version for 2-5 octaves. Upon opening the document, I discovered the piece was for 3-5 octaves — not usable for a 2-octave choir . Now, looking at the website, I see 2 versions are available: 2-3 octaves, and 3-5. The two options were not available earlier. Could you please send me the 2-3 octave version that I need, since the “2-5 octave” designation was in error? The 3-5 octave version is useless to me. It sounds like a lovely piece, though!
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I received your messages, and have responded to the email address you provided when you made the purchase. Would you please let me know whether you’ve received it? It should contain a download link for the 2-3 octave version that you need.
By the way, you were correct that we had something to fix, so that’s why there are 2-3 and 3-5 octave versions on our site now. Thanks for catching the mistake; there’s a little reward in the message for you!
Thanks!
Larry
