Sanctuary Handbell Choir
Handbell Music Tracks
for Home Practice
Fall 2025
Sunday Worship Service 12/21
December Concert at Edgemere 12/8
November 23
Original recordings of the MTC, orchestra and handbells Verse 1 & 4. Conducted by Mack Wilberg. Tempos vary a lot throughout
Duplicate audio recordings from above, except overall tempo has been changed to be a bit quicker
Note a Change in Sunday's Planning Center: There is NO third verse. Handbells are playing on V1, V2 & V4. There will be an organ modulation between V2 and V4 to move from the Key of G to the Key of Ab. Use this interlude to adjust your handbells for the Ab key. The video recordings (one has a tempo of 100bom and second has a tempo of 90bpm) play verse 1 and verse 2 then have an "interlude" of three measures of 4 beats of a drum between v2 and V4. I expect the real organ modulation interlude will be a bit longer, but beware.
For Another Time...
