Playable on either handbells or handchimes, this set of short classical arrangements will be useful in worship, school and concert settings. Christopher Gluck's lovely Minuet (Arioso) is a well-known lyrical piece with a haunting melody. Carl Bohm's charming but lesser known Praeludium (Reflection) will keep ringers happily engaged. Attention to phrasing and dynamics will enhance the musicality of both pieces.
