Review:
Written for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and optional 2 octaves of handchimes. A haunting, lyrical section opens this original tune from Brenda Austin before giving way to an energetic and driving motif which once more returns to the lyricism of the opening. Though scored entirely in five-four time, the middle section is conducted in an uneven four, giving ringers the chance to practice asymmetric meters. This piece is a great choice for advanced choirs in either worship or concert. 77 measures. Key of c minor.
