Edited by Michael Bedford
Here are 14 new compositions by some of the best composers of handbell music writing today. Do you pay $2.50 to $4.50 per copy for music for your handbell choir? Music that you photocopy anyway so the players can mark their copies? Here's the answer! "Bells For All Seasons" contains pieces from level 2 to level 4 and from 2-5 octaves (with most of the pieces level 2 and 3). Permission to photocopy - as always, and a midi generated CD included with the book so you can get a good idea of what the pieces sound like.
