The Flower Drum Song (also known as Feng Yang Flower Drum) is our newest handbell arrangement, following on from Larry’s recent arrangement of Jasmine Flower (Mo Li Hua). Feng Yang Flower Drum (鳳陽花鼓) is a traditional Chinese folk song, dating from the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD).

Here’s our demonstration video!

More information about Flower Drum Song (Feng Yang Flower Drum)

Feng Yang Flower Drum is a Level 4 arrangement for 3 or 5 octaves of handbells. It uses mallets and thumb-damping for to achieve some percussive effects, and is fun to play. This would be a great arrangement for a Chinese New Year celebration!

Sheet music for this arrangement is available to purchase and download from Choraegus. You can either purchase an individual copy (useful for massed ringing events, or for preview), or purchase the full choir license. Purchase of the full choir license gives you our no-fuss permission to print up to 15 copies for your group.

Your purchase of the full-choir license allows you to perform, broadcast and live-stream this piece as part of a concert or worship service. There’s no need for any additional license or fee. We ask that you credit the arranger (Larry Sue) and publisher (Choraegus) in any printed media such as concert programs, and online (in video descriptions). Please see our licensing agreement for full details. 

We appreciate your help in spreading the word about Choraegus handbell music. If you record a video of your group playing any of our pieces, we’d love to see it. You’re welcome to share it with us by email or on our Facebook page!

Please note that Choraegus handbell music is designed to come to you as a downloadable PDF file. 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, we recommend 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.
