Album Description
This is the first CD produced by The Raleigh Ringers. It highlights their diverse repertoire and includes transcriptions of classical and popular pieces (such as Hungarian Dance and Linus and Lucy), original compositions written for handbells, and arrangements of classic rock and roll. This is one of the best selling handbell CDs in the world and is over 74 minutes of music.
John Lambert, Spectator Magazine, Dec. 1995
The first recording of this superior musical organization will astonish anyone who has heard only traditional handbell choirs.
About the Artist
The Raleigh Ringers was founded in 1990 as an auditioned community handbell ensemble consisting of advanced ringers based in Raleigh, NC. In nineteen states, in France, and on our home stage in Raleigh we have presented hundreds of concerts featuring an instrument whose possibilities we are uniquely able to exploit: the English handbell. The virtuosity and musicianship of the group, the variety of music performed, and the excitement of the group's live performances put The Raleigh Ringers in constant demand on the concert stage. The group performs on the largest collection of handbell instruments owned by any group in the world, 6 different types of handbell sets consisting of over 330 individual bells. The Raleigh Ringers are considered one of the finest performing handbell ensembles in the world.

The Raleigh Ringers
I've got lots of upbeat classical stuff, but the sounds and tingling on this CD are fantastic. A great mix of traditional and contemporary pieces. This CD is a real ringer!
