Return to Eight-Handbell Collections – “Surprisingly Easy”™

Larry and Carla’s Third “Surprisingly Easy”™ Christmas Collection

Welcome to our third “surprisingly easy” Christmas eight-bell collection! We’ve been having such a wonderful time with our Christmas (and other) music that we thought you should have another set of pieces to play for the holidays!

You can play this music with two four-in-hand ringers… or you could have four ringers with two bells each. Beginning ringers will have fun with these, and will have an easy way to learn to play multiple bells, too. And when you master them, you can think about moving on to learn the more advanced versions that take the music a bit further! You can find those versions at https://www.choraegus.com/ring/eight-bell-music/.

Here’s what this collection contains:

A total of eleven bells are used to play the entire set (G5, A5, Bb5, B5, C6, D6, Eb6, E6, F6, F#6, and G6) – we still find the number of pieces that fit into one octave amazing. But don’t worry: we’re far from running out of new music…

(Take a look at our first and second “Surprisingly Easy” Christmas collections too!)

Practice tracks for the pieces in this collection are available separately with the individual scores.
