Reflections
The character of this original composition takes its inspiration from the dedication line above the title. It reads "To Cynthia Hamburger, for 35 years of marriage and her love of handbell music, All my love, Vic." This heart-felt sentiment carries through in the lilting, 6/8 meter, dotted-rhythm melody, an optional melody scored for 8 handchimes (2 octave range), flowing, harp-like accompaniment, and well-paced marts. 85 measures.
