Festival Chime
Gustav Holst's third movement of "Three Festival Choruses" (Opus 36A) is set here for 3-5 octaves of handbells. Based on the hymn tune ST. DENIO, this piece lives up to its title in terms of excitement and festivity. Textural variety, varied handbell techniques, and a grand ending ensure that your ringers and listeners will enjoy this music. 95 measures. Keys of G and C Major.
