A Festival of Bells

The Klokken Ringers - A Festival Of Bells

I'll drop something a little different in here as I tend to do every once in a while. I found a few of these bell-oriented LPs recently and I may post the rest of those.

The Klokken Ringers are made up of a few groups from the New Hackensack Reformed Church located in Wappingers Falls, New York. The members mostly include high school students (as I'm sure you can tell from the cover), at least when this LP came out. Eight tracks were recorded in the Education Center of the New Hackensack Reformed Church and the other four tracks were recorded in the Vassar Chapel of Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York.

The back cover says:

If you are a Bell ringer, would-be or active bell choir director, Hi-fi/stereo enthusiast looking for unusual sounds you will enjoy A FESTIVAL OF BELLS

unusual sounds + hi-fi stereo = I'm sold
