Review:
It is most appropriate that a English arranger should set one of his land's native songs in a fantasy for bells. The melody is first accompanied by full chords, then in the bass with chords above, and finally complemented by running eighth note patterns. A passage of martellato lifts adds to the drama and carries the work through to a softer ending in measure 135.
