We had a wonderful concert tonight put on by
the San Francisco State University
Handbell Choir.
The players are professors, staff and friends
that get together to create beautiful music.
They have been an ensemble for years.
The choir puts on several concerts
each season for the community.
There were 12 players using a set of handbells
that costs about $25,000.00.
They also played hand chimes which are
much less expensive and are used in schools.
Then the fun began as they passed out hand
chimes and bells.
Many of us were given an
opportunity to join in
and play a bell or chime.
Mine was the note, G.
Each time the word of
the song was circled I was to ring and
then stop the sound each time
a word was underlined
It was a kick, like patting your tummy and
circling your hand on your head at the same time!
It was lots of fun and I loved seeing some of our
really senior folk chiming and ringing away.
What a wonderful gift to bring to The Redwoods!
