A full 5 octaves of bells plus 5 octaves of handchimes (17 used from F3-F6) combine in this energetic setting of the favorite Irish folk melody - LONDONDERRY AIR. The melody first appears in the lower bells lending a rich feel to the work. Chimes ring on the "mournfully, with great sadness" section. Tall chords in triplets follow in a majestic section. Measures total 116.
