Rarely does a handbell score cover 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 octaves, but this setting of Antonio Soler's classic work does just that (although much of it stays within the 3 - 4 octave range). A majestic yet sometimes almost pompous piece, this one will be as much fun to ring as it will be to work out the 16th note patterns. A good length for worship or concert, and if you are planning a festival, be sure to check this one out for your upper division. Set in C Major, measures total 73.
