Today, we wrapped up this season's bell choir performances. But we went out with a bang with three pieces.
The first is "His Name Is Wonderful." I have to tell you that this has always been one of my favorite songs of faith, and this arrangement seemed especially poignant. Then I realize that the chords were reminding me of when it was played on the big Wurlitzer organ at Winona Lake Bible Conference in Indiana. Winona Lake was one of the last surviving wooden tabernacles where so many revivals and retreats were held. Hope you enjoy this one.
The main piece we played is "Quarters on Foundation." The quarters are the traditional clock chimes played every quarter hour. Foundation is the counter melody of "How Firm a Foundation."
The four people in front on chimes are guest players. I want you to know that the two boys are brothers and the youngest one is in 2nd grade! We practiced for weeks without the chimes part, but when they all joined us, the piece just became so rich and awesome!
Finally, we played "I Am Thine, O Lord."
In other news, I mostly rested from 3.5 very busy days. I read a bit and gardened a bit. All good.

Very nice. Rest is good
Lulu: "The bell melodies are very pretty! Our Dada had to put his ears in in order to hear them properly, but we dogs don't have that problem!"
Ann- thanks
Lulu- sorry Dada needs extra ears
