Ring Out Wild Bells
The text of this anthem is by Tennyson and speaks of the coming of a new year: Ring out the old, and ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let it go, Ring out the false, ring in the true. The composer use 3-4 octaves of bells along with keyboard to accompany the SAB voices. The bells are called on to play the entire piece and must navigate through some changing simple meter and scattered accidentals.
