Return to Handbell – Full Choir

Tico tico no fubá (Handbells, 5-7 octaves plus handchimes, 3 octaves, Level 5+)

Zequinha de Abreu wrote the exciting Tico tico no fubá in 1917. You’ll dance to this arrangement… but remember that you also have bells to play! We also have some terrific percussion parts, by Alex Guebert, for guiro, maracas, cabasa, tamborim, and claves.
