Despacito (Slowly)

This handbell/handchime version, arranged by Singaporean percussion artiste/handbell director, Damien Lim, may be performed solely on handbells, with or without percussion. Although it's scored for 5 octaves of bells mixed with chimes, a bell choir may still perform this work with under 10-11 ringers, since the bass bells (C5 & below) may be managed by fewer ringers using the mallets on bells. This is a highly rhythmic piece, which promises to be a familiar hit, turned hip thumping & foot tapping for your ringers & audiences.
