Wyoming Seminary Handbell Choir performing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Arranged and conducted by Anthony J. Kubasek. Arrangement available here: www.sheetmusic...
at my elementary/middle school once you reached a certain grade your whole grade would play hand bells together, I used to love listening to the older grades play them and then when it was my turn I enjoyed playing them so much... thanks for the video it brings back memories
Whatever robots posing as human beings clicked thumbs-down on this video have done us all a favor by reminding us of exactly what it means to have beating hearts.
OK, I was crushed when I ran across your video (but it is great to watch!). I have been hammering out an arrangement over the last year or so and just got it onto software so that I can do the final edits. Mine for 3-5 octaves. Hope I get to the publisher first! Thanks for posting this though--it was a lot of fun to watch!
@heavensoundbells I saw that one when I posted this version! And you're right - interesting similarities, esp on the table damping section ("No, no, no no..."). 2 completely different stagings, too (assuming you played your in concert with the props and costumes).
I was in bell choir in highschool. Seeing songs that I'm fond of brings back lots of goofy memories. It is surprisingly tricky and disorienting organizing a group of people and getting them to play with a bunch of bells and produce something musical. This is just too much fun seeing rock music on handbells.
