The Alchemy Handbell
Ensemble is a sextet of skilled handbell players from Prince of Peace
Episcopal Church in Woodland Hills California. Named for the Medieval
concept of wresting gold from base metal, Alchemy refines the music of
handbells, ringing gold from bronze. Because each player is generally
responsible for an independent musical voice, much of the repertoire is
contrapuntal. The ringers play in groups of three to six, as required by
the score.
This
delightful program of Christmas Music was recorded at Prince of Peace by
Alchemists Katherine Geeslin, Cathy Fountain, Nick Lowry, Kelly
McClintock, Karen Petersen, Stephen Reasoner, Apprentices Stephanie Boyer, Eleanor Fountain, Gina Pettinelli, and Director Boude Moore.
