New Handbell Music – Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella – for 8 Bells

Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella is a very pretty French carol, originally written in the 16th century.  Here’s our 8-bell arrangement:

If you’d like to play Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella, the music is available for purchase and download from Choraegus.

More information about this music

Purchasing this arrangement gives you permission to print and maintain up to four copies for your handbell group – so you only need to pay once. Purchase also gives permission for performance, broadcasting, live-streaming and video-sharing online. See our licensing agreement for full details. Please remember to mention the title and arranger of the piece on video-sharing sites, social media and any printed materials such as concert programs.

Please note that our music is designed to be downloaded as PDFs. You’ll be responsible for printing your own music, and you won’t receive anything in the mail.

If you haven’t purchased music online from Choraegus before, you might like to look at our step-by-step guide. We designed this guide to help you navigate the purchase and download process in a (we hope!) stress-free way.

It’s Not Too Late to Sign Up for Redding Bronze!

There’s still time to sign up for the Redding Bronze handbell event, which takes place over the weekend of January 30th and 31st, 2015. Handbell musicians will gather to form northern California’s premier handbell ensemble. We’ll prepare music in advance, then gather together that weekend to rehearse and put the finishing touches to the music. Then we’ll perform a public concert at First Presbyterian Church in Redding. Larry is looking forward to being the guest director for this event!

We’re excited about the repertoire for Redding Bronze. The concert will include such favorites as Michael Joy’s lively Dorian Dance and Lee Afdahl’s beautiful arrangement of Beach Spring. Take a look at the Facebook event page for more details – and sign up for Redding Bronze soon. Spaces are limited, so don’t delay!

There is no charge to attend the Redding Bronze concert on Saturday, January 31st. Donations are gratefully received, to help with the cost of this event.

Welcome to our New Website!

Welcome to our new website – larryandcarla.com!

We hope this website will be a helpful alternative to our music site. Apart from being easier to remember and spell (courageous? choragus? choreagus?), it will be a place to find more information about booking us for handbell performances. As a former long-distance couple, we’ll also share news about our life together now that we’re married and living in the same place. We’ll post our thoughts about how to survive a long-distance relationship, and getting through the U.S. visa application process.

This website will also have more purple.

We’ll continue to publish our handbell and choral music on our Choraegus site; nothing will change there. This new site will be an additional way for us to connect with the world! We’ll still have our Facebook page too, and you’re welcome to connect with us there. You can share your own long-distance relationship story, or ask us questions. We also love to hear from other handbell musicians about what you’re currently working on. If your handbell choir has played one if Larry’s arrangements, we’d love to see a video of your performance!
