Westminster Bell Choir

The Tabernacle will sparkle with the sounds of English handbells Friday, December 16, at 7 p.m. when the Westminster Bell Choir and Belles of Westminster present their annual Christmas concert. The choirs are proud to welcome Dr. Craig Jessop, dean of Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and music director of the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra, as guest conductor. Other guests will include Elisabeth (Buffy) Evans on piano prelude and Mary Beck on an organ/bell arrangement of Vivaldi’s “Gloria in Excelsis Deo.”

The concert will include such favorites as “O Come, All Ye Faithful” rung on chimes, “Angels We Have Heard on High” for combined bell and chime choirs, and a particularly funky arrangement of “We Three Kings” for malleted bells. The concert will also feature a 29-bell arrangement of “The Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel's "Messiah" for bell quartet.

The bell choirs are interfaith groups sponsored by Logan’s First Presbyterian Church. They rehearse almost every Thursday from late August through May and perform for a variety of audiences throughout Cache Valley. They ring five octaves of English handbells and five octaves of handchimes and have been known to sing or hum while ringing. One of their favorite activities is flash mobbing Utah State classes, ringing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" for surprised students.
