Larghetto (3-5 octaves handbells)

LARGHETTO (FROM SINFONIA NO. 11) – Georg Benda/arr. Scott Pfitzinger – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level III

Georg (Jiri) Benda was a Czech composer known for writing operas and melodramas. This is a transcription of the second movement of his Sinfonia #11, capturing the sounds and colors of the original. Although the notation may make it look fast, this was the slow movement of his sinfonia. It should be played lightly and only quick enough to keep it fun.
