Cosmo Spring Sundays: Reverberations and Wednesday Band
Join the Reverberations Handbells and Wednesday Band as they venture over the hills and far away in this exciting concert of evocative original works, folk songs, dances and meditations.
The handbell repertoire includes Betty Radford’s (one of our very own Reverberations ringers) piece “Connections” which was chosen to represent Canada at the 2026 International Handbell Symposium in Scotland.
Reverberations then moves on to nature, with an arrangement of “Sing a Rainbow” from a 1955 film, an arrangement of “What a Wonderful World” and “Spirit in the Wind”. We take a trip to Asia with pieces from Singapore and Japan, then end our world tour in Scotland with Gaelic pieces.
Wednesday Band will play “Country Wildflowers” (a lyrical piece based loosely on an old Scottish folk song from about 1709), “Under the Prairie Sky” and “Journey (Paddle Song)” by Canada’s own Robert Buckley, “One Small Step”, and the magnificent ”On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss”, concluding with a trip to Spain and the fiery “Malagueña”.
