Rafael Hernandez, Francisco R Abad
Handbell 3-5 octaves with optional Bongo
First performed at the August 1996 International Symposium and DirectorsÆ Seminar in Albuquerque, this piece tells of a farmer who failed to sell the fruits of his harvest. His emotions are depicted through differing handbell techniques, and syncopation. Optional Percussions (bongo, conga, and cowbell) add fun and color.
