Review:
The world of handbell music continues to expand and reach an ever-broadening audience as composers find new ways to combine handbells with other instruments. This spellbinding setting from Joel Raney does just that by combining a synthesizer string pad with handbells and handchimes. The blending and weaving together of these music elements, creates a unique, hypnotic mood, sure to captivate the listener. This piece is arranged in Eb Major, C Major, and D Major, and is 88 measures.
