Anything Goes

This favorite Cole Porter song is true to the original yet beautifully adapted to handbell and handchime sounds and techniques that emphasize the rhythm and style. The piece begins with temple or wood blocks and other stopped sounds while handchimes ring the verse. As it progresses, full use of bells brings energy that continues to build through gradual increases in tempo, and the addition of mallets and ring touches emphasizes the syncopation. A solo percussion section of mallet handles striking bell handles and music folders makes a fun interlude before bells return for the conclusion. A creative and top-notch arrangement your audience is sure to enjoy!
