Reflecting the romance of the past, the evocative original piece with optional brass and percussion will be a program favorite. There are distinct layers of melody and accompaniment that will require dynamic attention. Rhythmic challenges of duplet against triplet eighths occur frequently. Blocked, broken and malleted chords keep things interesting. Notes from the composer explain the motivation that inspired this fine work for handbells.
