This year, the handbell world lost Arnold Sherman, a prolific and gifted composer with more than 400 published works. Perhaps one of his most notable works is "Grazioso," which was commissioned in memory of Norma Taubert Brown, a handbell ringer who died of cancer. The music tells the story of Norma's life, her struggle with illness, and her ultimate journey to heaven. At Virtuoso 2024, less than two weeks after his death, we added this song to our concert program. We hope you enjoy our tribute

This was designed to be a “memory-and-forfeits” game, in which the singers tested their recall of the lyrics and if they forgot, they would have to “forfeit” a kiss or a favor to their opponent. This version of the favorite "Twelve Days of Christmas” begins quit
