Level 4 • This programmatic composition opens with repeated patterns and LVs that emulate the sounds of church bells ringing to gather people together. A lively celebration with a jaunty folk dance ensues, featuring bell techniques that include ring touch, plucking, malleting, thumb damping, martellato, and shaking. The tower bells interrupt the merriment, announcing the late hour with slowly swinging chords and familiar patterns from the opening. "Carillon Festiva" will be a delightful addition to any concert or festival program.
