The Raleigh Ringers announces the release of a new CD!

A Wintry Mix

It’s been several years in the making, but we’re incredibly excited to bring you a collection of unique holiday tunes, masterfully arranged by some of the the very best handbell composers in the business!

 ”A Wintry Mix” is a diverse collection of nearly 77 minutes of music heard during our holiday concerts over the recent years, including six tunes originally performed by the popular Trans-Siberian Orchestra (including favorites “Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24″ and “Wizards in Winter”).   The CD also features unique arrangements of “Blue Christmas”, “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”, “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” and a fun set of Vince Guaraldi tunes you’ll recognize from “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.    

16 of the 19 tracks were arranged specifically for The Raleigh Ringers!

The CD is priced at $15.00 and the easiest way to order your copy of “A Wintry Mix” is to visit our Store page.

There are many, many people to thank for this CD, but most of all I’d like to thank the individual members of The Raleigh Ringers who made the music happen.

Feel free to email us at rringer@rr.org if you have any specific questions or comments!
