Review:
John Behnke has arranged the Bach "Prelude in C Minor", for 5 octaves of handbells. The opening bass section is played with mallets, with ringing beginning at measure 17 with bass swings to accompany the melody in the treble bells. The prelude builds in intensity ending with big, fortissimo chords. To view a performance of this piece, click HERE.
