Gloria
The familiar opening of Vivaldi’s “Gloria” comes to life in this energetic arrangement for handbells and organ. Careful organ registration will help to achieve a good balance so that the bells can be heard easily. Ringers will delight in the shake, mart lift, and ring touch techniques. This 72-measure piece is sure to be a satisfying choice for either worship or concert settings and as a Christmas or general selection. It is arranged in C Major.
