Review:
This original composition was commissioned for the 2004 Rogue Valley Handbell Festival in Medford, Oregon. Playable by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 octave choirs; this bright, energetic, 78-measure piece is great not only for combined choir festivals, but also to start your ringing season off with a flourish! 9-10 optional handchimes (ranging from F#5 to A6) add to the mix as does the many special techniques such as thumb damps, martellatos, shakes, echo, and mart-lifts.
