| Sample handbell recording not yet available. However, here is an electronic version that is just barely better than nothing. |
| PRISMS is a timeless classic in the handbell repertoire. Originally composed in 1975 for 4 octaves of handbells, the piece has been performed countless times by many groups. The piece has now been re-worked to include from 5 to 6 1/2 octaves (from C2 to G8). While the original is often selected and programmed for concerts and festivals, it does not take advantage of the fact that so many groups have grown to 5 octaves or more. Great care has been taken to maintain the original feel and flavor while thoughtfully adding additional expanded ranges. The result is similar to comparing regular TV to high definition TV. The original is great, but the new product has greater depth and excitement. If you are already a fan of PRISMS, you will love this version. If you have never heard or performed it before, this is a must have in your library and on a future concert. |
