My name is Griffg. I'm the founding artistic director of the Back Bay Ringers. We are a community handbell
00:00:05
ensemble here in Boston. [Music] A handbell ensemble is a really unique musical ensemble. We're basically 15
00:00:17
people playing one musical instrument. About a month ago, we received an invitation from 48 Hours reaching out to
00:00:25
us to ask if we would be interested in collaborating for um a musical score that they were planning for an upcoming
00:00:32
story. We've been in contact with Richard the composer. up to this point where our collaboration has been uh
00:00:40
virtual in the sense that I've been sending KF scores and he's been commenting and uh I've been making
00:00:47
adjustments and we finally got it to the place where it needed to be to be recorded.
00:00:52
Let's do a crescendo uh through starting at 36. The story does revolve around a church.
00:00:58
That's what's great about this idea is that it it does lend an atmosphere that there's a religious
00:01:04
theme. And it's also exciting to be working with a composer who hasn't written for
00:01:09
bells in the past. It's not too hard for those of you playing season, you know, d
00:01:15
and to have a composer who is so accomplished um outside of the handbell sort of genre. It's really fun for us to
00:01:25
be able to share our instrument in that way. Everybody ready? Yep. Once we shoot the performance,
00:01:33
these shots will be integrated into the opening of the show and perhaps you know
00:01:37
other parts of the show. I think that the um you know atmosphere that's going to lend another dimension
00:01:47
to the story. [Music] Okay folks, thanks again. It's been a treat.
