Emanuel Ringers

The Emanuel Ringers is part of the music ministry from Emanuel Lutheran Church in Pleasantville, New York. This handbell group is comprised of ringers ranging from 8 and up. We ring on 5 octaves of Schulmerich handbells and 7 octaves of Malmark handchimes. We welcome all who want to learn how to ring, you do not have to be a member of the church to participate.

Reflection about Bread of Angels

Last fall when I saw that "Bread of Angels", the piece my adult choir commissioned from Bill Payn and surprised me with 7 years ago for our 20th anniversary ringing together, was one of the pieces being played in Liverpool, I called Eileen and asked about attending the symposium, she graciously said "you can ring with us!"

What fun it has been to travel for 2 weeks with the Emanuel Ringers and the Katonah Celebration Ringers and to perform in Dublin, Chester, and here in Liverpool.

The conductor of "Bread of Angels",Stephanie Wiltse, is interpreting the piece the way Bill Payn intended, and it is such a thrill to play "my" piece with over 400 ringers.

My new friends from Emanuel and Katonah have all been so welcoming-----what a wonderful group!
