Gladiolus Rag
This Scott Joplin ragtime tune is set for 3,4 or 5 octaves of bells in easy march tempo. Lots of techniques are used to liven things up including martellatos, staccatos, Ring Touch and mart lifts. Sometimes these techniques follow each other in fast procession adding another dimension of challenge. The other challenge is the syncopation of the rhythm that is the source of the "fun" of the piece.
