Digital Booklet
|
The Westminster Concert Bell Choir is composed of students at Rider University’s Westminster Choir College, the first institution in the world to develop such a program. Hailed for its virtuosity, the ensemble performs on the largest range of handbells in the world, spanning eight octaves; many of the bells are made of bronze weighing from four ounces to 11 pounds. The choir also uses the large “Basso Profundo” aluminum cast bells and a six octave set of Malmark Choirchimes, the widest range in existence. This album includes patriotic favourites and American songs and hymns, as well as original works, including Battle Hymn of the Republic and an arrangement of Sousa’s The Stars and Stripes Forever that showcases the choir's virtuosity.
