Awe-inspiring music.

There are at least a few people on my friends list who will appreciate this, so:

The overture to The Marriage of Figaro. On handbells.

(Watched a Raleigh Ringers DVD last night. Dear lord.)

(Edited to add: can't find that particular one online, but their audio gallery gives an idea of what these guys are capable of. "Stars and Stripes Forever" was also on the DVD.)

Is there supposed to be a link to something here...?

No, because I haven't found one yet. Will add if I can find one.

Oh, I can just imagine! Link doesn't work, unfortunately.

Have you ever heard the King's Singers do the overture to Barber of Seville?

Oops! Fixed.

Oh...my.... *droool* Need to steal (well, borrow) that DVD from you. I love handbells.

Wow. I... I never even imagined handbells could do all that. How many people are in this group? I'm imagining it must be quite a large number... Thanks for a sweet little mindblower!

Judging by the DVD, 13-14 at any given time. "Stars and Stripes Forever" had a few extras.

I'd love to learn how to do that.
