A Handbell Compendium

THE HANDBELL COMPENDIUM – Michael Jedamzik

The Handbell Compendium covers various aspects of handbells. You may download this book legally here for free.

This book is divided into five chapters: about handbells, related physics, compositions, handbell ensembles and notation. The composer and handbell clinician Kevin McChesney wrote in the foreword: “I have been delighted to meet Michael through the global handbell network and through reading his ‘Handbell Compendium’, I have been educated by his extensive and earnest research. He has compiled information from a huge number of sources that will interest scientists, musicians in endeavors other than handbells, handbell leaders, ringers, and listeners. I have been impressed at his creation of a reference work that belongs in the library of everyone who leads or just plain loves handbells.”
