Canticle
"Canticle" was written for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir, optional 3 to 6 octaves of handchimes and optional tambourine and hand drum. This original work by Matthew Compton is an emotional and accessible choice for concert or worship. A flowing lyrical section opens the piece before giving way to a driving and energetic section featuring malleted bells, tambourine, and hand drum, which propel the work to a thunderous conclusion. 109 measures.
