Craig’s notes
Just nature and people playing bells. Very relaxing. The countryside footage alternates with the players, and the bass bells keep a low, almost pipe-organ sound underneath the higher notes. I only watched part of it.
On this tape
The viewed portion of Tinkling Handbells alternates handbell ensemble performances with European-looking countryside. Large bass bells are visible. The rest of the program was not viewed in this session.
About the program
A handbell-library listing identifies Tinkling Handbells as a 1987 CBS/Sony production featuring the Echo Handbell Ringers, conducted by Katsumi Kodama. The sleeve is mostly Japanese; its front shows the English title and Sony logo.
